Handing off vector artwork to fabrication partners usually meant redrawing it in Illustrator. Convertify lets me export Figma layers straight to DXF, which CAD teams can open instantly. It is a lifesaver for signage, physical prototypes, and any workflow that ends in CNC or laser cutting.

Precision preserved

Convertify respects vector paths, strokes, and fills when generating the DXF, so there’s no need to retrace the geometry. Just clean up your layers, convert strokes to outlines when necessary, and export.

Practical considerations

1. Work in real-world scale inside Figma (or label the dimensions) so downstream teams know what they’re looking at.
2. Simplify complex boolean operations before exporting to avoid strange artifacts.
3. Test the DXF in a viewer like AutoCAD or Illustrator to confirm everything looks correct before delivering it.

This workflow has saved me hours every time a physical deliverable pops up unexpectedly.

Cross-team collaboration

Share the DXF alongside a PDF preview so fabrication partners can confirm they’re looking at the right asset. If they request tweaks, update the Figma source, rerun Convertify, and send a new DXF in minutes. That beats juggling multiple versions in Illustrator or asking engineers to redraw your work.

Use cases

• Retail displays and environmental graphics
• Industrial design prototypes
• Packaging dielines and custom signage

Convertify turns “Figma DXF export” from a scary request into a reliable part of the production pipeline.
