Hello,
I have a Solidworks part that can be manufactured on a X-Y router table (Sidewinder XPR). It is essentially a shape cut into MDF with a router. This part uses splines for its profile definition.
I have tried exporting my Solidworks files as .dxf/.dwg and sending those to the vendor. But they have been unable to produce my parts.
The vendor uses Mozaik software that converts files to GCode.
I am wondering:

I am wondering:
- What do I need to do to convert my file to something Mozaik can read?
- Is it possible to maintain the smooth spline shape without conversion to a polyline? Or, if conversion to a polyline is necessary, can I specify the number of points in the polyline to emulate a spline?
