How to export from TinkerCAD?

TinkerCAD is a challenging platform for us to process, since it does not export true DXF files that we use for defining cutting paths. For this reason, we strongly suggest that you use one of our recommended software instead.

However, there are a couple of options available for exporting from TinkerCAD

Once your file is exported from either Fusion as a DXF or from Inkscape as an EPS at 1:1 scaling, you should be able to upload it directly to our website for an instant quote and confirm the overall dimensions are correct. Use our file setup checklist to ensure your 2D file is cut-ready!

In Summary

How do I export from TinkerCAD?

TinkerCAD is a challenging platform for us to process, since it does not export true DXF files that we use for defining cutting paths. We strongly suggest that you use one of our recommended software instead.

If you must use TinkerCAD you had two options:
Send To Fusion 360 (download free version here) and export as a DXF
Open the TinkerCAD SVG in Inkscape (free – download here) and export as an EPS
