What’s included

  • A topographic relief map for CNC carving, supplied as nested contour layers for a 6 mm cutter.
  • The file is drawn at 400 × 400 mm in mdf at 6 mm, with 9 closed paths and roughly 8,381 mm of total cut length. Cut and score geometry are on separate layers, units are millimetres and the origin sits at the bottom-left corner of the bounding box.
  • The drawing carries no baked-in toolpaths. Apply a 6 mm tool kerf offset in your CAM software, keep the CUT and SCORE layers separate, and let the controller decide the cutting order. For mdf at 6 mm we recommend a lead-in of 2 mm on the outer profile.
  • Break every machined edge with a 2 mm round-over before finishing. Routed plywood edges take stain unevenly — a coat of sanding sealer first evens the colour out considerably.
  • Download it in 5 formats — DXF, DWG, SVG, PDF, STL — all generated from the same master geometry, so switching format never changes the part. Released under CC BY 4.0: cut it, sell it, adapt it, just keep the credit and don't redistribute the files themselves.

About This Design

A topographic relief map for CNC carving, supplied as nested contour layers for a 6 mm cutter.

The file is drawn at 400 × 400 mm in mdf at 6 mm, with 9 closed paths and roughly 8,381 mm of total cut length. Cut and score geometry are on separate layers, units are millimetres and the origin sits at the bottom-left corner of the bounding box.

The drawing carries no baked-in toolpaths. Apply a 6 mm tool kerf offset in your CAM software, keep the CUT and SCORE layers separate, and let the controller decide the cutting order. For mdf at 6 mm we recommend a lead-in of 2 mm on the outer profile.

Break every machined edge with a 2 mm round-over before finishing. Routed plywood edges take stain unevenly — a coat of sanding sealer first evens the colour out considerably.

Download it in 5 formats — DXF, DWG, SVG, PDF, STL — all generated from the same master geometry, so switching format never changes the part. Released under CC BY 4.0: cut it, sell it, adapt it, just keep the credit and don't redistribute the files themselves.

This downloadable design is supplied in 5 formats. Choose the file that works with your compatible vector editing or CAD software, then inspect the geometry, drawing units, scale and closed paths before cutting.

Available File Formats

DXF — AutoCAD DXF

DXF is the safest choice when a file has to travel between CAD software and a machine controller. Every DXF Design Point DXF is exported as R2000 ASCII with millimetre units, closed polylines and no stray duplicates, so LightBurn, RDWorks, SheetCam, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD all read the same geometry.

DWG — AutoCAD Drawing

DWG is the native drawing format of the AutoCAD world. This download ships the same geometry as a standards-clean DXF plus an SVG, packed with an import note — open the DXF in your CAD package and save as DWG in one step.

SVG — Scalable Vector Graphics

SVG is the working format for most desktop laser cutters. Our files use a millimetre user space with a matching viewBox, hairline strokes and no fills, which means LightBurn and LaserGRBL import them at the correct physical size on the first try.

PDF — Print-ready PDF

Every PDF is a single true-scale sheet with the outline drawn as vector strokes — no rasterisation, no 'fit to page' surprises. Print at 100 % and you have a paper template you can tape to the material or hand to a client for sign-off.

STL — Stereolithography Mesh

The STL variant extrudes the closed cut outlines to the listed material thickness so the part can be previewed in 3D, dropped into an assembly or handed to a slicer.

Software Compatibility

Depending on the format and version, these files may be opened or imported using compatible applications such as LightBurn, RDWorks, SheetCam, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, LibreCAD, Inkscape, BricsCAD. Actual compatibility depends on the application version, import settings and file contents.

How to Download and Use

  1. Select the file format you need.
  2. Click the matching download button.
  3. Save the file to your device.
  4. Open or import it in compatible software.
  5. Check drawing units, dimensions, scale, paths and geometry.
  6. Prepare machine settings and run a test piece before full production.

License & Usage

CC BY 4.0. You may cut and sell physical objects made from these files. You may modify the geometry for your material and machine.

Do not redistribute or resell the original digital files as standalone downloads. See the full license terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material thickness is “CNC Relief Map” drawn for?

6 mm mdf. Slots and joints are cut to that dimension with the clearance noted in the description. If your stock differs, offset the slot geometry by the difference rather than scaling the whole file — scaling changes the outer dimensions too.

Which file format should I download?

For LightBurn, LaserGRBL or xTool Creative Space take the SVG. For RDWorks, SheetCam, Fusion 360 or any CAD package take the DXF, and the STL if you want to check the part in 3D before cutting. CorelDRAW shops can use the CDR bundle, and the PDF prints at true scale for templates and quotes.

Can I sell what I make from this file?

Yes. The CC BY 4.0 licence covers commercial use of physical objects without any volume limit. Credit “DXF Design Point” in your listing or on the packaging. What you may not do is resell, bundle or redistribute the digital files themselves.

Do the files include toolpaths?

No. The drawings carry clean vector geometry only; apply your own toolpath strategy and kerf compensation in CAM.
