Then on the laser cutter computer, import the SVG into Visicut (or possibly have to go through Inkscape and then send to Visicut using an Extension), and send to laser cutter. design away in Gravit.io, don't care too much about absolute size and line widths, export as SVG. Some of the most popular include ArtRage, ArtFlow, Inkscape, Infinite Painter, Boxy SVG, Sketchpad, Adobe Illustrator, Sketchbook, Gravit Designer, Krita. That makes me think it might be helpful in combination with Visicut. You can also move, resize, rotate your designs in Visicut. it will read everything in the file and give you the option to specify what to do with each thing it detected.
The beauty of this is that Visicut doesn't care what line widths are set to. I'm not including the details because it was annoying and something would go wrong every year with at least 5% of the jobs, so it's not worth sharing with you all.Īt the end of last year, we were introduced to the Visicut software to send jobs to our Epilog laser (thanks to this group!) and after testing it out, that's what we are using this year. Specifically, up until this year, the workflow was we would ask students to design in Inkscape, making sure to set line widths for vector cuts to 0.001", export as PDF, etc etc. But we have also run into similar issues like some of the ones you've mentioned. We ask students to install Inkscape because it is open source and free for them, versus AI. At my school, we haven't been using Gravit.io yet although I was introduced to it over the summer and thought it looked really promising.
