Mark Waid Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 We are just updating from Serif X6 to Affinity at school. In Serif draw I used to export as CAD\CAM so that I can print the drawing in the laser cutter. However I can't see this function on Affinity Designer. Is there a file type I should use with the new Affinity designer? Quote
firstdefence Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Depends on the laser cutter software but EPS or SVG is probably the way to go.

Aleinhord85 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Buddy i am looking for CAM software. I am woodworker from texas and looking for paid CAM. I got suggestion for MasterCAM from an article. Is it worth for money or not. And I want to know whether it works fine with Affinity and does it cause any problems or not. If you have any info about then please tell it. Quote

Can't tell for that specific one you named and other paid/commercial CAD/CAM software (...there are so many on the market). Instead I point you to a free one here, for your own individual tryouts then ... FreeCAD FreeCAD Workbench Woodworking with FreeCAD FreeCAD for Woodworkers 01 FreeCAD for Woodworkers 02 ... From CAD to Cutlist in FreeCAD 05 ... and so on ... In terms of a collaboration and file exchange with Affinity, the common bitmap formats (jpg, png, tiff) and more relevant here vectors (SVG) should usually work. - FreeCAD supports the following for import/export (see an overview list).
