CNC Fabrication CAD Specialist | Waterjet | DXF | 2D CAD I have 15 years of hands-on experience in 2D CAD/CAM and CNC waterjet cutting, taking customer drawings from initial concept through to finished manufactured parts. I regularly work from PDFs, DWGs, DXFs, images, sketches and rough customer drawings, converting them into accurate, clean DXF files ready for CNC manufacture. My experience includes: * PDF, sketch, image and drawing to DXF conversion * 2D CAD drawing and redraws * DXF cleanup and geometry correction * Identifying problems before manufacture * CNC waterjet-ready file preparation * Nesting and material optimisation * CNC toolpath preparation * OMAX Layout CAD/CAM * Interpreting incomplete or rough drawings * Working with aluminium, carbon steel, stainless steel and plastics Unlike purely CAD-based drafting, my background is hands-on manufacturing. I understand what happens after the drawing reaches the workshop and can identify issues that may cause problems during cutting or fabrication before material is wasted. Whether you have a simple sketch that needs turning into a DXF, an existing file that won’t cut correctly, or regular overflow CAD work for a fabrication shop, I can help produce practical, manufacturing-ready files. Based in New Zealand and available for remote projects worldwide.
