Abstract
A method and apparatus for interactive generation and provision of custom cutting files for CNC robotic tools. A generic model for a particular product that a user wishes to make with a CNC tool is provided on a server remote from a client, with corresponding representational images available to the user. The user may input changes to the default representational images, and transmit the data corresponding to the final design parameters to a remote site, where a custom cutting file is generated. The user executes a purchase of the custom cutting file, which is then transmitted or otherwise provided to the user.
