ILLUSTRATIVE WORKSHOP SCENE
THE GEOMETRY BEHIND THE JOB
A silhouette is
only the beginning.
Two drawings can look similar and contain very different cutting paths. Review what is actually in the file.
Cut length
Inspect internal and external lengths, rather than judging from the outline.
Pierces
Review contour-based pierce counts alongside the actual drawing.
Geometry findings
Find duplicates, open contours and entities that need a closer look.
Geometry measurements are inputs to your review. Cutting time also depends on material, thickness, machine settings and process allowances.

GEOMETRY TO REVIEWDeliberately included in this test drawing
Four module outlines, six holes and deliberate duplicate/open-contour defects. This is a fictional test piece, not a production-ready part.

The details
worth catching.
Small details in a drawing can become expensive details on the floor. Here’s what the analyser looks for.
See it in the sampleUnits & scale
Reads drawing units and flags uncertain scale. Unknown units need confirmation before you rely on dimensions.
Contour closure
Finds open paths and gaps between endpoints, including shapes that look closed on screen.
Duplicate geometry
Finds overlapping geometry that could cause a double cut or inflate the total cut length.
Tiny & zero-length entities
Flags very short or zero-length entities left behind by an edit or export.
Self-intersections
Highlights where a profile crosses itself, so you can review the intended cut path.
Supported entities
Reports what could not be read and which geometry was approximated during analysis.
Arc tangency
Checks changes in direction where lines and arcs meet. Sharp corners may be intentional.
Part topology
Distinguishes outer profiles, internal holes and disconnected parts, and surfaces multiple profiles for review.

BEFORE YOU START
A few useful
answers.
Does this generate a laser machine program?
No. The free analyser inspects drawing geometry; it does not generate machine code or approve a drawing for cutting. Check your machine, material, tolerances and process requirements before manufacture.
Can I turn cut length directly into a cutting time?
Cut length alone is not a complete time estimate. Cutting speeds, pierce times, material, thickness, setup and handling all matter. Use reviewed workshop inputs when you build an estimate.
Will LEVRTEK repair the DXF for me?
The analyser surfaces geometry findings for you to review. Correct source geometry in your drawing workflow where necessary, then analyse the revised file.
Do I need an account or upload the drawing?
Free DXF analysis needs no account and processes the drawing locally in your browser. Saving drawings to a signed-in paid workspace is a separate action that uploads and stores them privately.
