File type

[kyaden]

I have a charity project I'd like to do using a CNC machine to cut the wood out but I wanted to know what type of file they typically use. Currently I have the shape in a vector .eps (Adobe Illustrator) which I can convert to .dxf file

Can many use this .dxf file? I understand that .stl might be the file type required?

If anyone can give me any advice I'd be grateful.

for a 2d file *.EPS is fine , i find DXF a PITA as they revert to inches as standard
STL is for 3D files

Thanks, its just a 2d shape, nothing too fancy.
