Question 1

What are laser files?

Accepted Answer

At Atomm, we focus on our XCS file format, which is optimized for laser cutting. XCS files are designed to work seamlessly with xTool Creative Space Software, allowing users to easily set parameters for their projects. Additionally, we also accept popular file formats such as DXF, SVG, AI, and EPS, ensuring flexibility for all your design needs.

Question 2

How do I prepare a 3D laser cut file for plywood/acrylic of a specific thickness?

Accepted Answer

Measure your actual plywood/acrylic thickness with calipers, not the nominal value, then design slots/tabs to that size minus or plus a small fit allowance. Account for kerf by test‑cutting a joint sample and adjusting dimensions until you get a snug or glue‑fit, then apply those values across the full 3D file.

Question 3

How do I adjust slots and tabs for kerf so 3D parts fit together tightly?

Accepted Answer

First determine your machine’s kerf by cutting a known shape and comparing design vs. actual size. Subtract about half the kerf from tab width and add about half to slot width, or use an offset/kerf compensation tool. Iterate with small test joints until you consistently get the desired press‑fit.

Question 4

Where can I download free 3D laser cut files or templates?

Accepted Answer

Free 3D laser cut templates are commonly shared on maker communities and laser‑focused file sites. Atomm provide SVG/XCS/DXF files and clearly state licensing terms, especially for commercial use. Atomm also curate sample 3D projects and layered designs as downloadable resources, making it easy for creators to explore and experiment.

Question 5

Why do my 3D laser cut parts not fit together properly?

Accepted Answer

Poor fit usually comes from ignoring kerf, using nominal instead of real thickness, or importing files at the wrong scale. Even small kerf values quickly add up across tabs and slots. Warped sheets and inconsistent material thickness also cause issues. Check units, measure thickness, determine kerf, and refine joints with test pieces.

Question 6

How do I scale a 3D laser cut template to a different material thickness?

Accepted Answer

Do not uniformly scale the entire design. Keep outer dimensions the same and redesign joints around the new measured thickness and your kerf. Update slot and tab widths parametrically if possible, then cut a small section to confirm fit before regenerating and cutting the full 3D assembly in the new material.

Question 7

What are common mistakes when using free 3D laser cut templates?

Accepted Answer

Common mistakes include using files at the wrong scale or units, assuming the original material thickness matches yours, and not compensating for different kerf. Many people also skip test cuts and discover issues only after wasting a full sheet. Always verify dimensions, adapt joints, and run a small trial before production.

Question 8

What are 3D engraving files?

Accepted Answer

Unlike standard 2D files, 3D engraving files are specialized images (typically grayscale) where the brightness of each pixel translates to a specific engraving depth. Darker areas usually result in deeper cuts, while lighter areas remain closer to the surface.

Question 9

How do I choose power and speed settings for multi‑layer or 3D assemblies?

Accepted Answer

Power and speed depend on your specific laser and material, so treat published settings as starting points, not rules. Run a small test grid on the actual plywood or acrylic to find the cleanest through‑cut. Thicker sheets need slower speeds or higher power. Save proven settings as presets for consistent 3D and multi‑layer work.
