Overview
\n
For a seamless integration of our advanced aesthetic laser systems into your clinic’s infrastructure, precise spatial planning is crucial. We require CAD drawings to ensure optimal placement, ventilation, and electrical connectivity for your new device. Our technical engineering team accepts all major industry-standard 2D and 3D file formats to facilitate this process. Below are the most frequently asked questions regarding our CAD submission protocols for B2B buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
\n
Q1: What are the primary CAD file formats you accept for clinic layout planning?
\n
We accept all major standard formats, with a strong preference for .DWG and .DXF for 2D floor plans, and .STEP or .IGES for 3D modeling. These formats allow our engineers to accurately assess clearance, foot traffic, and service access points for your new device. We also support .PDF for basic visualization, but vector-based files are required for precise engineering assessment.
\n
Q2: Do you support native files from specific software like AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks?
\n
Yes, we directly support native files from AutoCAD (.dwg), Revit (.rvt), and SolidWorks (.sldprt). Providing the native file preserves layer information and specific annotations, which expedites our review process. If you are using older versions of these software suites, please ensure the file is saved in a backwards-compatible format, or we can accept standard neutral formats like .STEP or .IGES.
\n
Q3: Is there a preferred file version or specific layer naming convention you require?
\n
For .DWG files, we recommend saving in AutoCAD 2013 or newer for optimal compatibility. While we do not enforce strict layer naming conventions, it is highly beneficial for our pre-sales technical assessment if your floor plan includes clearly labeled layers for electrical outlets, structural walls, and water lines. This structured data allows us to generate a detailed installation requirements report within 24 hours of submission.
\n
Q4: What is the file size limit for uploading CAD drawings to your portal?
\n
Our secure file transfer protocol supports CAD files up to 50 MB in size. For large 3D models or complex clinic blueprints exceeding this limit, we recommend compressing the files into a .ZIP archive. If your file is still oversized, our technical support team can provide a direct FTP link to facilitate the upload without compromising the drawing’s resolution or data integrity.
\n
Q5: How should I submit my CAD drawings to ensure my laser installation site is feasible?
\n
For the fastest response, upload your CAD files directly to our technical support portal and include a summary of your electrical capacity (e.g., 220V single-phase) in the comments. Our engineering team will overlay your provided layout with our machine’s operational footprint and clearance requirements. We will then provide a comprehensive feasibility report and a modified .DWG file with our proposed equipment placement within 48 hours.
\n
Q6: Can I submit a 2D PDF or screenshot if I don’t have the original CAD software?
\n
While we accept PDF files for preliminary site surveys, they are not sufficient for final installation approvals. A PDF is a flat image and lacks the scalable vector data and scale accuracy required for precise equipment placement. Please contact our support team to request a free consultation where we can assist in reconstructing the necessary vector files from your existing blueprints.
\n
Q7: What happens if my submitted CAD file is incompatible or missing layers?
\n
If a submitted file is incompatible, our support team will notify you within one business day with recommendations for file conversion. We offer a free “File Concierge” service where we can help convert most standard formats. We will send you a revised .DWG with our required layer structure, making it easy for you to simply input the necessary details before re-uploading.
