Frequently asked questions
Do I need AutoCAD or CAD software?
No. Stek-Plaat runs entirely in the browser — you don't need a CAD licence or drawing experience.
Which files do I get?
A DXF, a dimensioned PDF drawing, an NC1 (DSTV) file and a 3D model (STEP/.STP), bundled in one download.
Can my steel supplier cut from this?
Yes, as long as your supplier or cutter accepts DXF or DSTV — which is the case for virtually every laser, plasma or CNC cutter.
What is an NC1/DSTV file?
It's the steel standard (DSTV norm) that CNC cutting and drilling machines read to process profiles and plates.
How accurate is it?
Everything is drawn and exported to the millimetre.
