Files arrive at real finished sizes, ready to drop into LightBurn, Glowforge, Vectric, Cricut or Silhouette and cut. The shoreline and any islands sit on separate layers, so you can cut one and engrave the other without editing anything. Makers use these for layered wood maps, engraved cutting boards, metal and wood signs, vinyl decals and tumblers.
