# Step 1: Cuting the panels- CNC machine
In this step, you may send the provided files for cutting on a CNC or laser cutting machine. Note that these files are designed for a material thickness of 25 mm (1 inch). If you alter this measurement, ensure the file is adjusted accordingly. We only cut the outline on the machine, but you may also use it for bevels and number engravings.
