Design Tips for Manufacturing

 

• Use Hairline stroke thickness when designing a file to be cut.
• To ensure the CAM process properly loads the completed design, always convert all objects to paths at the end of your design.
• It's easy to convert objects to paths, but not paths to objects - complete object transformations before converting to paths.
• Use Align and Distribute tools to save time patterning repeating shapes
• Shape builder can shortcut multiple boolean operations when constructing a complex shape from simple geometries.
