CNC-Ready SVG
How It Works
AI handles the complex image processing automatically
2
Define Cut Area
Crop to your subject. Remove any background clutter that would create unwanted toolpaths.
3
AI Path Generation
AI extracts clean contours optimized for CNC toolpaths - smooth curves, minimal nodes, no microscopic details that stall machines.
4
Import to CAM Software
Download SVG and import into Fusion 360, VCarve, SheetCAM, or your CAM software for toolpath generation.
Why Choose Our Tool
CNC-Optimized Paths
Vector paths are simplified for CNC machines - smooth curves without excessive nodes that slow down cutting or cause vibration.
Adjustable Tolerance
Control path complexity based on your machine's capability. Fewer nodes for plasma cutters, more detail for precision CNC routers.
Clean Closed Paths
AI generates properly closed paths essential for CNC cutting operations. No open endpoints or overlapping segments.
Edit Before Cutting
Use the built-in editor to remove small features, close gaps, or simplify paths before exporting to your CAM software.
CAM Software Compatible
SVG output imports cleanly into Fusion 360, VCarve, Aspire, SheetCAM, Mach3/4, and all major CAM platforms.
Browser-Based Prep
Prepare your cutting files without needing Illustrator or CorelDRAW. Everything runs in your browser.
Compatible CAM Software
Fusion 360
VCarve
Aspire
SheetCAM

Frequently Asked Questions
What kerf compensation is applied?
Our tool outputs raw vectors without kerf compensation. Apply your material-specific kerf offset in your CAM software for accurate cuts.
Can I get DXF output?
We output SVG which can be easily converted to DXF in most CAM software or using free tools like Inkscape.
What materials can I CNC cut with these vectors?
The vector output works for virtually any CNC-compatible material including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, wood, plywood, MDF, acrylic, HDPE, and foam board. Adjust your path simplification based on material thickness and machine capability.
How do I convert SVG to G-code?
Import the SVG into your CAM software (Fusion 360, VCarve, SheetCAM, etc.) which will generate G-code based on your machine settings, tool diameter, feed rates, and material thickness. Most CAM programs make this a straightforward process.
What is the minimum detail size for CNC routing?
Minimum detail depends on your bit diameter - typically 1/8 inch for standard routing. Our tool lets you adjust path simplification to eliminate details smaller than your tooling can cut, preventing broken bits and poor cut quality.
