Image to laser cut drawing...

Hi
I got a picture (JPG) I need to make as a laser cutting drawing...
Is there any easy way to do this? Og do I "just" have to take the looong road and draw over the picture?

Accepted answer

In general you need to convert it to a vectorial file (coreldraw, CAD, dxf...)
meaning pixels to lines, so the cutter follows the path. Many programs allow you for this, google image to vector etc

I use Inkscape to trace Jpegs and bitmaps and then save to a DXF

Hi Martin,
You should go to google and convert it from JPG to DXF format.

I like Vector Magic for these projects.

You can use illustrator. But short cuts quality will be very low. You already know the long way. Follow that long way, quality will great.....
