Some settings are required in this part of the process also. You are going to convert your image into a physical cut structure so you have to adjust the units in the software. Units can be selected as millimeters or centimeters.
You can select the page size easily by going in the file option of the Inkscape. Selecting the right page size is important so the laser cutting file will not let the cutting beyond your sheet. You have to compare the detail of the images so you have to insert a grid on the image inside the software. After adjusting the grid, you can adjust the stock. Stroke can be deep or shallow. Where you only need to do some engraving, you can put a shallow stock.
Where you are going to cut the whole sheet, you can insert the deep stroke option. Be sure to bookmark this page as we will continue to update you with other free files, projects, and templates.

Once you unzip the file folder you will see two files available. One of your unzipped files will end with. If you are trying to edit the design work you can use a program like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator to make quick changes to the existing DXF file.
I know a lot of individuals that are new to the CNC industry like to try Inkscape but I have not had very good success with importing and opening my DXF files into that particular program.
I believe it is due to how Inkscape was developed based off older versions of the DXF file format. If you are importing the DXF file or opening it into your CAM software you will want to be sure to disable your offset tooling function.
If you are unable to disable the offset function altogether then you will want to reduce your offset value as small as it will go. The reason to do this is you want the cut to go right down the centerline of the vectors in these files.
