This is the free DXF download for the set of 10 hand symbol designs, ready to bring into your laser, plasma, router, or vinyl plotter software as clean closed contours.
When we drew these in AutoCAD, we kept the fingers and palms as true spline curves rather than tracing them with chains of short straight segments, because that is what keeps the rounded edges smooth once your software builds the toolpath; segmented curves can leave faint facets on a cut edge, especially at larger sizes. The contours are closed, so the software reads each hand as one complete shape and cuts it without manual repair, and the vector geometry holds its proportions when you scale a design to the size your project needs.
File details:
- 10 gestures as clean closed contours
- Curves stored as true splines, not segmented polylines
- Scales to any size without distortion
- For CO₂ and diode lasers, CNC routers, plasma, waterjet, vinyl plotters
The ten gestures are thumbs up, peace sign, heart hands, pointing finger, raised fist, open hand with STOP, praying hands, rock-on horns, OK sign, and handshake. They cover a wide span of fabrication work: laser-cut wood or acrylic wall art, keychains, and signage; plasma-cut metal plaques and outdoor pieces; vinyl decals and stencils; and CNC-engraved plaques, trophies, and gifts. The praying hands has the finest internal lines of the set, so give it enough size or a fine cutting tool to hold that detail; the bolder shapes like the thumbs up and the raised fist cut cleanly even at small sizes.
