hi, so an .eps file is short for encapsulated post script, basically its a file that i can open in a program like adobe illustrator or corel. we also use this file format in out table cnc machines at my work. i guess i can just digitally trace the wing and make a file, i was hoping some other poeple might already have one. im leaving this job in 2 weeks so im trying to get as much cnc work i need and engraving stuff as well. thanks

unforunatley just because you can save it as an eps, does not really mean its an eps file that you can manipulate. when you just resave it as another its basically just lying to the computer.

What you should do is vectorize your jpeg. there are programs for that. They trace the contours of the jpeg, and save it in the vectorized format, good for cnc. For Sure corel photopaint has a module like that, but there are independent brands too. Try katz.ws and type vectorize in search box. it's a warez server, though, so do it with your own conscience :)

If you want a Corel Draw I'll semd you one


Don't know how to contact you but email me at ambientl@telnor.net or rhinoracer@excite.com and I'll mail the CDR file to you which as far as I know is the type used by digital sign makers as I've sent my logo to them and they just load it to their computer.

If you can get me a jpeg or something to look at, I can generate one and export it how ever you like.

Check your e-mail.... I sent you some that should work for them.  They are all vector files.
eps  dfx and a couple others just in case.  good luck, let us know how they turned out.
