Stop rebuilding LED channel letters from scratch (SVG STL/DXF workflow)

If you build LED channel letters, you probably repeat the same steps over and over.

Every SVG means:

  • rebuilding the structure
  • preparing files for different machines
  • adjusting tolerances manually

It’s slow and easy to mess up.


πŸ”§ A simpler workflow

I’ve been testing a way to generate fabrication-ready parts directly from SVG files.

Instead of modeling everything manually, it outputs:

  • STL files for base and top
  • DXF / STL for acrylic cutting
  • consistent geometry ready for assembly

βš™οΈ What changes

Instead of spending time on setup, you go straight to production.

That means:

  • less repetitive CAD work
  • faster turnaround
  • more consistent results

🧠 Open question

How are you currently handling this?

Are you rebuilding everything in CAD every time, or do you have a more efficient workflow?
