Technical notes for preparing laser-cut pure nickel tabs from DXF files. These resources help you understand the Nickel Tabs launch scope before DXF quoting and public ordering open.
Start with the key decisions before ordering.
Nickel Tabs starts with a focused scope: 0.15 mm pure nickel, DXF files, battery pack prototypes and small runs. The articles below explain the main points to check before preparing a file or planning a small production run.
0.15 mm pure nickel for battery tabs
Understand why the launch scope starts with 0.15 mm pure nickel, and what it means for battery pack prototypes and small runs.
How to prepare a clean DXF file
Basic file preparation rules before laser cutting: scale, closed outlines, clean geometry and readable layers.
DXF design rules for laser-cut nickel tabs
A practical checklist for cut-outs, bridges, minimum details and common geometry issues in nickel tab designs.
Spot welding pure nickel tabs
What to keep in mind when designing nickel tabs for spot welding on 18650 and 21700 battery cells.
Flat shipping for thin nickel parts
Why thin nickel parts should be protected and shipped flat instead of rolled or packed loose.
Nickel tabs for 18650 and 21700 battery packs
How Nickel Tabs fits battery pack prototyping, repair work and small runs for common cylindrical cell formats.
A focused scope before opening orders.
The first Nickel Tabs launch is intentionally narrow. The goal is to make the workflow clear before opening DXF upload, quoting and public ordering. The starting scope is pure nickel, 0.15 mm thickness, laser cutting from DXF files, and flat protected shipping across Europe.
Pure nickel
Initial material scope.
0.15 mm thickness
Focused launch thickness.
DXF file preparation
Clean geometry before quoting.
Battery pack prototypes
For repair, R&D and small runs.
Small production runs
Short batches before larger demand.
Flat protected shipping
Thin parts protected from bending.
Cut and inspected in-house in Guer.
Nickel Tabs is prepared as a focused workshop service for pure nickel battery tabs by the 40Watts workshop in Guer, France. Cutting and inspection are handled in-house, with a launch scope designed for European battery workshops, repairers, design offices and hardware prototyping teams.
