Mach 3 and 4 are great programs used in CNC shops. When a client brings in a physical pattern or a part the very first step is to create a DXF Vector file to load into Mach or other software. Logic Trace System makes it fast and easy to get accurate files. The pen stylus can trace theough many materials; paper, cardboard, glass,mylar, stone, wood, fabric, leather, plastic...

Can I use just the pen to trace? I get that question all the time. Logic Trace System is designed where the tracing board and pen stylus work together to generate accurate DXF or SVG vector files. The pen stylus generates an electromagnetic field which is picked up by the grid in the board and the pen tip location is sent to the software. The created vector file is ready to load into CNC or CAD software.

Even complicated or detailed designs are a breeze to create for CNC vector files using Logic Trace System. Just place the pattern on the tracing board, start the software, trace with the pen stylus, and save a DXF or SVG file. Use these files on any CNC machine; laser, plasma, router, or water jet. Fast, easy, and accurate.

Very quickly I take an object, trace around the edge, and save a DXF vector file. By loading it into my CNC software I can cut a wood backing to replace the cardboard. So easy!

People CNC cut all sorts of materials with their CNC machines including leather, fabric, vinyl, and foam. Using Logic Trace System, vector files are quickly created from paper patterns or from worn out pieces, like the upholstery fabric for a sofa or a leather piece for a shoe or saddle. Created files are ready to load into any CNC software.

Logic Trace System includes software, tracing board, and pen stylus. Place your pattern on the tracing board, start the software, use the pen stylus to trace, save the vector file, load into CNC or CAD software, and make the cut.

Creating a DXF vector file for CNC is easy with Logic Trace System's tracing features like lines, arcs, curves, circles, free hand draw, and turn point. Using these features, outlines and internal shapes can be quickly defined. The resulting DXF file can be saved and loaded into CNC, CAD, or other software.

All sorts of materials can be cut on CNC machines, even cork. Place a cork part on The Logic Trace tracing board, trace the outline with the pen stylus, and save a DXF or SVG vector file. This file is ready to load into CNC laser or router software to make the cuts for new pieces of shaped cork.

Working with metal often starts with a pattern. Create a DXF vector file to load into CNC or CAD software by tracing the pattern with Logic Trace System. Holes are fast and easy to define. Use 1 point and a set diameter or 3 points around the circle to define the hole locations. Fast and easy.

Creating a DXF or SVG vector file from a part is fast and easy using Logic Trace System. Place a part or pattern on the tracing board, use the Logic Trace software and pen stylus to trace the outline of the object and save the file. This file is ready to load into any CNC or CAD software.
