Celtic Shamrock DXF Conversion
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a PNG of a Celtic shamrock that I need turned into an accurate flat pattern for sheet-metal work. The goal is a clean DXF file that drops straight into a laser-cutting workflow.
Here’s what I’m after:
• Only the major outlines should be traced—no tiny filigree or texture details.
• Finished width must be exactly 12 in / 304.8 mm.
• Optimize the geometry for a medium-gauge sheet (roughly 1–3 mm thick), so kerf allowance and bend relief aren’t critical; it’s purely decorative.
Please keep the paths contiguous, closed, and free of duplicate nodes so the CNC software reads it without complaint. A single DXF in millimeters is all I need; any native file (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Illustrator, etc.) you generate along the way is optional but welcome. I’ll verify the file by loading it into my laser’s CAM package, so it must open error-free.
