These are representative concept studies and connection details, not client-branded project photography.

What we document

Once shop drawings are approved, we prepare the files your CNC equipment and fabrication shop actually cut from — G-code files for sheet-cutting machines, nesting layouts optimized for flat-material usage, and part identification that carries through to the installation package.

Scope typically includes

  • G-code file preparation for CNC sheet-cutting machines
  • Nesting layouts optimized for flat-material usage
  • Nesting reports showing material usage & leftover percentage
  • Part identification and tagging, consistent with drawing sets
  • BOM support for fabrication ordering
  • Cut lists with live D.L.O. formulas for mullions and transoms

Formats & machine compatibility

We prepare cutting files based on your fabrication shop's actual equipment and accepted formats — let us know your CNC setup when you send your project, and we'll confirm compatibility before delivering files.

Common Questions

Can you prepare files for our specific CNC machine?

We prepare cutting files based on your shop's equipment and accepted formats — tell us your setup when you send the project, and we'll confirm compatibility before delivery.

What does a nesting report show?

Flat-material usage and leftover percentage for each sheet, so you know how efficiently material is being used before you order stock.

Do cut lists include the D.L.O. formula?

Yes — cut lists for mullions and transoms include a live D.L.O. formula, written in for clarity on the fabrication shop floor.

Can this integrate with our existing BOM process?

Yes — BOM support is built to align with the fastener lists, extrusion stock lengths and panel clips your shop already orders against.
