01 /The design
A truck built around its moving connections.
The articulated centre lets the cab and rear section turn, while the dump bed tilts above the six-wheel chassis. It is a project for builders who enjoy working through mechanical detail.
The listed assembled size is 310 × 103 × 120 mm. The design has SVG and DXF versions for 3 mm, 4 mm and 1/8-inch plywood, plus a PDF guide. The 3 mm cutting layout uses four 280 × 280 mm sheets.
Tilting dump bed
Assemble the bed connection and check its range before finishing the truck.
Articulated steering
The front and rear sections turn at the centre joint.
Six rotating wheels
Check the axle fits as you build the chassis.
A real build
Made from the files.
A physical build, with the maker’s choice of materials and finish.
02 /At your workbench
Choose your material.Make it fit.
Measure first.
Check your actual material thickness and the matching file version. Test the slots and kerf on a small cut.
Check the layout.
Open the supplied design in compatible laser software. Check that the layout fits your machine’s usable work area.
Follow the guide.
Use the PDF assembly guide to identify the parts and work through the construction sequence.
Plan this build.
This is an advanced model with small parts, not a project intended for young children. Test the moving joints, keep glue clear of them and use the PDF to work through the assembly sequence.
At the 3 mm material scale, no individual part exceeds 290 mm. This refers to one part, not the assembled model or the whole cutting layout. Rescaling changes that limit.

Is the Front Loader in the photograph included?
No. The photograph shows two separate 21CNCStudio builds. This page and its file listing are for the Articulated Dump Truck; the Front Loader has its own design page.
What do I receive?
Digital SVG and DXF design files and a PDF assembly guide. No physical model, material or hardware is shipped.
Can I change the scale?
Scale every part equally. Slots and tabs change with the design, so the material thickness must change in the same proportion; the finished dimensions also change. Test the fit and kerf before cutting all the parts.
Can I use the design commercially?
The design is for personal use. Check the current listing terms and contact the studio for commercial permission. Do not redistribute or resell the digital design files.
