Title: G-Code from image file
Post by: stroupe on June 06, 2013, 05:34:21 PM

Is there anyone out there that would be willing to convert a logo for me?  I have a logo that I would like to engrave.  It is currently in jpeg and I would like a g-code file.  I am running mach3.  I can email the logo image file and size specifics.  I would be glad to pay a fair price for the service.  I have been unsuccessful finding a free trace program on the net.  I tried mesh cam but it did a poor job and is really designed for 3D.  The rep from mesh cam recommended inkscape but apparently their site is having problems.  At least, that's the message I got when I tried to download.

Many thanks to member Ya-Nvr-No.  Sent him the file and had the gcode back in no time.  Thanks a million!

Checkout F--Engrave (http://home.comcast.net/~sskroch/Fengrave/fengrave.html)!

And before you can say "Thank you" I'll go ahead and say "You're welcome!"

Seriously, this guy has given us an amazingly free piece of software. I can't say enough great things about it!
