Can the machine convert "vector based files" and successfully machine them? The file is from an illustrator package. If so, how?
Also, it goes on a sign so any suggestions for machining hdu board would be helpful.

Re: convert vector language
Hello Rob,
Thermwood's Gen2 control should be able to nest and cut the files if they are a layered dxf. As for as how that's done, you'll need to contact our service dept and ask for a programming assistance.
When machining HDU board, most of the tooling developed to machine plastic works very well. Your tooling vendor may carry a line of tools specifically for machining plastic, if not, Thermwood may offer what you need.

Hi Rob,
Below is a link to Thermwood's on-line Control Nesting Manual. Here you can read about the Control Nesting software which is a standard option on the Thermwood control (THM version 5.05+). You will find specific information regarding dxf files and how to setup layer names for the nested base software. Once you've had a chance to look it over, give us a call (1800 221 3865) or email us(program@thermwood.com) and we will be glad to further assist you.
