How do I get a laser cutting quote from a DXF file?

Upload the DXF (or DWG, SVG, PDF, STEP) on cutitfast.pl. The price appears right away, with no account. Pick the sheet metal and the quantity, and the quote updates as you go.

What does the free file check find?

We'll remove 1 duplicate line - it's drawn twice, so the laser would cut along it twice. We'll close the 0.05 mm gap - the contour becomes one closed cutting line. It also flags outlines that are not closed. You see each fix on the drawing and decide on it yourself, or keep your file as it is.

Can I upload several files at once?

Yes. Drop several files, or a ZIP, and they go into one quote. Each part can have its own material and quantity, or you apply one choice to every part.

Can I download the cutting file before I pay?

Yes. At the payment step, the Cutting files section lists every part with a Download DXF button. It is exactly the file the price was calculated from and the one that goes to the laser.

This is Cut It Fast, an online laser cutting service for sheet metal in Katowice, Poland. You upload a drawing and see the price at once, with no account.

0:15 Free DXF file check: duplicate lines and gaps
The file check starts at once. In the bracket it found a line drawn twice, so the laser would cut along it twice, and a 0.05 mm gap in the outline, far too small to see. Each fix can be shown on the drawing, and nothing changes without your decision. Then you confirm the shape: 170 by 110 millimetres.
0:31 Sheet metal material, thickness and quantity
Choose the sheet: mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium, in several thicknesses. The price per piece appears at once, with and without VAT, and one click applies the material to every part. Set the quantity for each part, or one quantity for all. The more pieces, the lower the price per piece.

Pick delivery: collection in Katowice, courier in Poland, or international courier. An order paid before the cut-off time on a working day is usually ready the next working day; the current cut-off time is on the lead times page.
