DXF Nesting-Ready Plate Set

This sample project illustrates AGX Engineering's approach to producing a complete DXF cut file package for all plate components across a steel fabrication project. A structural frame of any complexity typically includes a large number of plate components — base plates, gusset plates, stiffener plates, connection plates, and splice plates — each requiring an accurate DXF file for the cutting operator.

The example covers the full plate component set for a two-bay structural steel equipment frame: 14 unique plate components across three different material thicknesses (6 mm, 10 mm, and 20 mm mild steel). Each DXF file is produced per-part, correctly scaled and layer-structured, with a part schedule providing the nesting operator with a complete summary.

AGX Engineering extracted each of the 14 plate components from the SolidWorks assembly model as individual flat patterns, applied the correct layer structure to each DXF file, and verified all files by opening in a DXF viewer before delivery. A part schedule was produced identifying each part by number, material, thickness, flat dimensions, and quantity.

PDF check prints were generated alongside each DXF file for operator verification prior to nesting. The complete package was delivered as a single compressed archive with a clearly named file for each part, matching the part schedule.
