I will create dxf files for laser or plasma cutting, sheet metal flat patterns


About this gig
I own and run a CNC plasma table, so the DXFs I deliver are the ones I'd have to cut myself: kerf, tabs, slot widths, and hole sizes are right the first time, not after your operator sends it back.
Send a sketch, a photo with dimensions, a drawing, or an existing CAD file. You get a clean 1:1 DXF (inches or mm, your call) with closed contours, no duplicate lines, and bend lines on their own layer when the part gets formed. For bent parts I model it in SolidWorks sheet metal with your gauge and bend radius, so the flat pattern is the real unfolded part, not a guess.
Proof: a commissioned three-part awning mount set for a vehicle fab shop. I designed it in sheet metal, nested and plasma-cut the flat patterns myself, then bent and welded the finished brackets. Gallery photos are the actual steel.
I'm a mechanic and fabricator (SolidWorks CSWP), not a drafting service. Files only, DXF/DWG/SVG + PDF drawings, ready for your plasma, laser, or waterjet.

FAQ
What do you need from me?
Material and thickness, the cutting process (plasma, laser, or waterjet), and any sketch, photo with dimensions, drawing, or CAD file you have. For bent parts: inside bend radius or your brake tooling, if you know it.
Inches or millimeters?
Either. Tell me which your table uses and the DXF is drawn 1:1 in that unit.
Do you nest parts for a full sheet?
Yes, in Standard and Premium. Give me the sheet size and I'll nest with cut clearance for your process.
Can you supply native SolidWorks files?
Deliverables are DXF, DWG, SVG, STEP, and PDF, universal formats every shop opens. Native SLDPRT isn't offered.
Do you cut or bend the parts?
No, this gig is the files. You or your shop cut and form them.
Can you work from a logo or artwork for a decorative sign?
Yes, as long as you own the artwork. Send the highest-resolution file you have and I'll convert it to cut-ready geometry with bridges so the inside pieces don't fall out.
