Now let’s hit run and just preview the results in the preview window here. So, you can see that the slider is quite high on the smooth end, bias to curves, and lines and arcs in the output, meaning that the vector image will be formed of vector lines and and vector arcs. And the defaults here are all probably the best that you’d want to use for laser cutting purposes. So, to do that, we go to the convert raster image tool in Scan2CAD, and because we’re converting this for laser cutting, we’re going to use the outline option. So, the next thing we need to do is convert the image. And that’s pretty much all we need to do with this image, so we’ll click okay, and that will save the cleaning to the canvas. We’ll remove the speckles and holes and move up the speckle and hole size. We’ll threshold the image, just converting everything to black and white since we don’t need the colors. So, first we’ll clean up the image using the clean raster image tool in Scan2CAD. We can see a lot of problems that we need to clean up before we go ahead and convert. We’ll be doing this using Scan2CAD, so first we need to open up the raster image.
In this video, I’ll be showing you how to convert an image such as PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF, to a vector format for laser cutting, so this would be a file format such as DXF or G-code.
