CypCut, a widely adopted laser cutting control system, is designed with a strong focus on high compatibility and operational efficiency.
By supporting multiple mainstream file formats, CypCut enables seamless data transfer from CAD/AI design software to the production floor—greatly improving workflow efficiency and laser cutting machine metal
quality.
FIRST Supported File Formats Overview
| Category | Format | Description |
| Vector / CAD | DXF (preferred), AI, PLT, SVG | Precise contours suitable for direct toolpath generation |
| Engineering Code | G-code / NC, Gerber | Toolpath data generated from CAM or industry-specific software |
| Proprietary Formats | LXD / LXDS, NRP / NRP2 | Save toolpaths, parameters, nesting, and layout—ideal for mass production |
| Bitmap | BMP, JPG, PNG | Used for reference or contour extraction (requires vectorization before cutting) |
| Others | DWG (partially supported) | Recommended to convert to DXF |
SECOND Why These Formats Are Used
DXF / AI – Industry-standard vector formats that preserve contour precision and ensure stable import.
PLT – Maintains compatibility with legacy drawings or plotter files, supporting traditional workflows transitioning to laser cutting.
LXD / LXDS – CypCut’s proprietary formats capable of storing toolpaths, parameters, sequencing, and nesting data—ideal for industrialized, repeatable production.
Bitmap formats – Commonly used in signage and engraving; vectorization allows conversion into clean cutting paths.
THIRD Pre-Import Recommendations (Ensuring a Smooth Workflow)
To achieve optimal cutting performance, check the following before importing:
1.Unified units (mm/inch)
2.All shapes must be closed vectors
3.Remove duplicate segments and stray elements
4.Merge or organize layers
5.Perform sample cuts for key components
These steps significantly reduce errors, optimize toolpaths, and improve overall cutting stability.
FOURTH Recommended Workflow
1.Design in CAD/AI → Export as DXF / AI
2.Import into CypCut → Run auto-optimization (deduplication, repair, sorting)
3.Set layer parameters → Save as LXD template
4.Sample test → Batch production → Process parameter reuse
This workflow ensures high accuracy, consistency, and production efficiency.
FIFTH Typical Application Scenarios
Precision metal parts batch manufacturing: DXF LXD is the ideal combination
Signage artistic graphics: AI files maintain smoother curved edges
Legacy engineering drawings plotter files: PLT format provides direct compatibility
Visual engraving or pattern etching: Use JPG PNG contour extraction vector cutting
Choosing the correct file format is the first step toward high-quality fiber laser cutting.
With broad compatibility—from DXF and AI to PLT and LXD—CypCut ensures your designs transition into production quickly, safely, and accurately.
Whether you are working in precision manufacturing, signage fabrication, or mass industrial production, CypCut helps you build an efficient, stable, and fully reusable laser processing workflow.
