The mind behind the design.
I’m Imran Arif, a CNC designer who cares as much about how a design is made as how it looks.
I create detailed 3D reliefs, cutting files and decorative artwork for CNC routing, carving and laser engraving. Each project starts with your idea and the practical details: your machine, material, dimensions and the finish you want.
Working in ArtCAM, Vectric Aspire and AutoCAD, I turn those details into accurate, production-ready designs. Through IBDesigns Academy, I also help students build practical design skills for professional work and freelancing.
My aim is simple: thoughtful design, clear communication and files you can confidently take to the workshop.

In their own words.
Feedback from clients who ordered designs and students who trained with Imran. Every review is read before it's published, and only the reviewer's name appears with it.
I reached out to IB CNC Designs when I needed custom decorative artwork digitized for a series of large architectural wall panels. What impressed me most about Imran was his clear communication and attention to the practical details. The ArtCAM files were flawless, and the final carved pieces turned out stunning. Imran is an absolute professional and a pleasure to work with.
We run a fast-paced laser engraving and signage shop, and sometimes we just don't have the in-house bandwidth for complex vector work. Imran stepped in to help us with a massive batch of 2D cutting files and intricate laser engraving artwork for a corporate client. His AutoCAD skills are top-notch. Communication was clear despite the time zone difference, and most importantly, the files were incredibly accurate.
I run a custom furniture shop and have outsourced a few designs before, but working with Imran was a totally different experience. I needed a highly detailed 3D relief for a set of custom cabinet doors. He didn't just trace an image; he actually asked about my machine specs, the wood species, and the bit sizes I was using. Highly recommend his custom CNC design services if you want files that actually work in the real world
