CAD Design & File Prep for CNC Plasma Cutting

You don’t need to be a CAD master to turn your idea into steel. Whether you’re a metal sculptor, blacksmith, or contractor, this is where your idea becomes something buildable.

Bring your idea—we’ll make it cut-ready.

Customers bring us their designs, and we recreate them in CAD files for production on the CNC plasma cutter. We are a go-to in Portland for art-driven projects, custom pieces, and anything that needs to translate from concept into steel.

Good Cuts Start with Good Files

A poorly prepared file leads to rough edges, a bad fit, and extra work during fabrication. Taking the time to get the design right up front means:

  • Cleaner cuts 

  • Better alignment 

  • Less grinding and rework 

  • A smoother overall build

What You Get:

01
A clean, cut-ready CAD file 

02
Adjustments to ensure proper spacing, scale, and cut behavior 

03
A design that translates smoothly into CNC plasma cutting 

04
The option to move directly into production 

Simple, Upfront Pricing

No file? No problem.

We’re able to provide you an estimate for CAD design services, based on your artwork or concept.

Just fill out the questionnaire below and give us your files or artwork, and we’ll return quickly with a written estimate for setting up your files for CNC plasma metal cutting.

From there, the total project cost for producing finished cut pieces will depend on:

  • The quantity of pieces you need cut

  • Material and thickness

  • As well as the size and complexity of the design and quantity

You’ll always know what to expect before moving forward.
