svg2gcode
Convert vector graphics to g-code for pen plotters, laser engravers, and other CNC machines
Usage
Web interface
Check it out at https://sameer.github.io/svg2gcode. Just select an SVG and click generate!
Command line interface (CLI)
Install
cargo install svg2gcode-cli
Usage
Arguments:
[FILE]
A file path to an SVG, else reads from stdin
Options:
--tolerance
Curve interpolation tolerance (mm)
--feedrate
Machine feed rate (mm/min)
--dpi
Dots per Inch (DPI) Used for scaling visual units (pixels, points, picas, etc.)
--on
G-Code for turning on the tool
--off
G-Code for turning off the tool
--begin
G-Code for initializing the machine at the beginning of the program
--end
G-Code for stopping/idling the machine at the end of the program
-o, --out
Output file path (overwrites old files), else writes to stdout
--settings
Provide settings from a JSON file. Overrides command-line arguments
--export
Export current settings to a JSON file instead of converting.
Use `-` to export to standard out.
--origin
Coordinates for the bottom left corner of the machine
--dimensions
Override the width and height of the SVG (i.e. 210mm,297mm)
Useful when the SVG does not specify these (see https://github.com/sameer/svg2gcode/pull/16)
Passing "210mm," or ",297mm" calculates the missing dimension to conform to the viewBox aspect ratio.
--circular-interpolation
Whether to use circular arcs when generating g-code
Please check if your machine supports G2/G3 commands before enabling this.
