How to convert SVG to G-code

1

Prepare your paths

Remove overlapping objects, lock in the real size, and convert text to paths if you want to cut along the letters.

2

Upload the SVG

Pick the file from your computer, then check that the preview shows every path you want to cut.

3

Set up the bit

Set the bit diameter, depth and feed rate to suit your material and your actual machine.

4

Generate G-code

Download the .nc file and check the start point and safe Z before running the real job.

What to watch for in SVG files

Some SVG files exported from design software contain strokes, masks, clip-paths or hidden objects. Strip the file down to only the paths you actually want to cut, and compare the dimensions in millimeters before generating G-code.

Convert text to paths before cutting letters

Make sure shapes are fully closed when you want an outside cut

Always check the preview before running a .nc file on a real machine
