Work in progress tutorial on inkscape
It is a bit of a pain in the ass to get inkscape to output something useful to laser cut if you are doing anything marginally complex.
Trace Bitmap is your friend
- Use A4 size. Some people swear by this to get the dimensions right.
- Objects such as Text are not exported. Convert them to paths Paths->Object to paths.
- Different bits of the svg are not aligned correctly. Select all then Path-> Combine to make it all one object. Then use a dxf editing program to put the different bits of the object in different layers. As the laser cutting software is not the best for doing this.
