DXF File Creation for Drumstick Manufacture

Job ID: 40448271

Budget: $30 – $250 CAD

I manufacture drumsticks on a CNC wood lathe and need someone to create accurate DXF profile files from physical drumsticks and scanned images.

IMPORTANT:
These DXF files are for actual production use on an EagleTec CNC wood lathe with a RichAuto controller.

The machine requires:

* DXF R12 format preferred
* ARC and LINE entities only
* NO splines
* NO polylines with spline segments
* Clean continuous geometry
* Accurate dimensions

The files must be production-ready, not just visually similar.

What I will provide:


* Physical drumstick
* Critical dimensions and measurements
* Photos and existing working DXF examples
* Machine compatibility information

What I need:

* Accurate tracing of drumstick side profile
* Proper centerline alignment
* Correct overall length
* Smooth transitions and tapers
* Exported DXF compatible with CNC lathe

Important:
The DXF will be tested on a real machine. If the file causes errors, chatter, crashes, or malformed geometry, revisions will be required.

To apply:
Please tell me:

1. Your experience with CNC-compatible DXF creation
2. Whether you understand spline vs arc conversion
3. Whether you have experience preparing files for CNC lathes or machining
4. What CAD software you use

Ideal experience:

* QCAD
* AutoCAD
* Rhino
* Fusion 360
* CNC machining
* CAM preparation

I would like to begin with ONE test drumstick model before proceeding with a full catalog.
