File Conversion & Backup

We can use our CAD software to easily send, convert or back up your pattern files.

This is particularly advantageous when factories are abroad as they can receive the digital pattern and marker files by email and refer back to them throughout the sampling and production process which makes your job easier and keeps your cost low.

If you can explain to us what format or how you’d like to view your pattern we can do this for you and we are more than happy to help you out. We can convert and backup your files to any compatible CAD system, such as AAMA, DXF, HPGL, and additionally export the paths to Illustrator/pdf.

Here are just a few points for what you will get from our File Conversion & Backup Services:
