I have designed a figurative sculpture that will be fabricated in metal and stand at a finished height of 1.2 m. I need a clean, fabrication-ready DXF file that captures the contours and details accurately so my metalworker can take it straight to laser or water-jet cutting without extra edits. You will receive my hand sketches and reference photos; from these, please generate the exact outlines, internal cut-outs, and any locating holes we decide are necessary for assembly and mounting. All geometry must be properly scaled to the 1.2 m overall height and laid out on standard sheet sizes so the fabricator can nest the parts efficiently. Deliverables • One fully layered DXF file in millimetres, ready for import into common CAM software • A low-res PDF or PNG preview so I can check proportions before we send it to the shop Accuracy is critical, so I’ll review the preview first, request any tweaks, and then sign off on the final DXF. If you work in AutoCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or similar, that’s a plus, but the only file I ultimately need is the DXF. Looking forward to collaborating and seeing this figure come to life in steel.

Hi there, I just read your posting. It sounds like you need an expert in CAD design to convert your figurative sculpture into a clean, fabrication-ready DXF file suitable for laser or water-jet cutting. I am a software engineer with 10+ years experience in CAD and design workflows. Creating precise, fabrication-ready vector files from sketches and reference images, with accurate scaling, clean geometry, and proper layering for manufacturing, is what I specialize in. I can work with you to translate your hand sketches into exact outlines, internal cut-outs, and mounting features, ensure everything is perfectly scaled to the 1.2 m height, and optimize the layout for efficient sheet usage. I’ll provide a clear preview (PDF/PNG) for review and iterate with you until everything is approved, then deliver a fully layered, millimetre-accurate DXF ready for CAM import. Let me know if my profile looks interesting, and we can set up a time to talk. Best regards, Nike Y.

Your sculpture deserves more than just a drawing — it deserves a fabrication-ready system. As an industrial designer and 3D specialist, I don’t just convert sketches into DXF files — I translate artistic intent into precise, manufacturable geometry that works seamlessly with laser and water-jet cutting. I know accuracy is critical. Even small deviations in contours or hole placement can affect assembly and visual balance, so my process focuses on precision and fabrication logic from the start. Here’s how I’ll approach your project: * Convert your sketches into clean, continuous vector geometry * Create accurate outlines and internal cut-outs with proper tolerances * Scale the design precisely to a 1.2 m final height * Add locating holes or assembly guides if needed * Deliver a clean, layered DXF (mm) ready for CAM * Provide a preview (PDF/PNG) for review before final delivery I combine design sensitivity with manufacturing awareness — ensuring your sculpture not only looks right, but fits and assembles perfectly without extra workshop adjustments. Before starting, I’d like to clarify: * What material thickness will be used? * Do you prefer nested sheets or separate parts? * Any specific mounting requirements? * What cutting method will be used? I’m excited to collaborate and bring your sculpture to life in steel.
