Digital design · SVG + DXF + AI + CDR
No physical model or materials are shipped.
01 /The design
Curling arms and contrasting layers.
The octopus spreads across the artwork with looping tentacles and repeated sucker details. Its layered shapes separate the head and arms from the patterns beneath them.
The design is supplied in SVG, DXF, AI and CDR formats. The recommended minimum size is 290 × 240 mm, and no assembly instruction guide is included.
Four-layer artwork
Cut and stack the four layers in order.
Ocean-themed detail
Tentacle curls and sucker patterns carry the design around its outline.
Your colour combination
Contrasting finishes help the overlapping shapes remain clear.
02 /At your workbench
Choose your material.Make it fit.
Check the detail.
Inspect the smallest bridges and fine cutouts at your chosen size. Cut a small sample before committing a full sheet.
Keep the layers aligned.
Use the same scale for every layer. Check the design against your laser’s usable work area before cutting.
Stack in order.
Arrange the cut layers in order and check their alignment before fixing them together.
Plan this build.
Respect the minimum-size recommendation and test the narrow tentacle connections. Keep all four layers aligned at the same scale and dry-stack them before fixing the artwork together.
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.

Does this design include an assembly guide?
No. The four-layer design does not include an assembly instruction guide. Inspect the shapes and stacking order before cutting and fixing the layers together.
What do I receive?
SVG, DXF, AI and CDR files for the four-layer artwork. No assembly instruction guide is included. No physical octopus display or material is supplied.
Can I change the scale?
Scale every layer by the same percentage. The overall dimensions change, and fine bridges can become fragile when reduced. Material thickness changes the depth of the stack; check any alignment features or fitted connections and test a small section first.
Can I use the design commercially?
Contact 21CNCStudio to discuss permission before commercial use. Do not redistribute the digital files without the author’s permission.
