Can I use this to cut custom EVA foam decking for my boat?

Yes, upload a photo or scan of your deck template, and PhotoCAD will convert it into a DXF file for your CNC router.

Do nautical vectors work well for plasma cutting?

They do — bold outlines of anchors, fish, and ships translate well to plasma cutting, giving clean results on mild steel and aluminum.

Do fine lines from vintage sailboat drawings come through?

Yes, fine details from sketches and drawings translate into crisp SVG line work suitable for laser engraving.
