Do I still need Inkscape or Illustrator?

Not for tracing logos and markings. Vectorize converts them into SVG using a threshold, and the result goes back as a layer in the Artboard or straight to the machine — no export, no re-import, no second licence.

Why Vectorisation instead of what you know?

For tracing, most people reach for Inkscape or Illustrator — powerful programs that know nothing about your laser and force a detour through export and import.

Vectorize produces cut paths where they are needed: inside the same project that runs the machine a moment later.

Threshold-based conversion of logos and markings into SVG, with no intermediate program.
The result goes back as a layer in the Artboard or straight to an image object in Laser Control.
No second licence, no second copy of the file, no re-import.

Everything in Vectorisation

Every function, every effect — 19 controls.

Loading an image

Upload image: Opens the file picker for a raster image (photo or graphic); the image appears in the original preview and the SVG preview is computed immediately with the current settings.
Handoff from the laser: When Vectorize is opened from a running laser session, it automatically loads the source image from that session and seeds the output width from the object's dimensions.
Status line: Shows the file name after loading, a notice if the image was automatically resized, or an error message if the source image could not be carried over from the laser.

Threshold & output

Threshold: Brightness cutoff (0–255): pixels darker than the value become solid vector fill, lighter pixels stay background. The SVG preview updates instantly on every change.
Output width mm: Sets the real-world width of the exported vector in millimeters; height is computed proportionally from the source image's aspect ratio.
Invert: Flips which pixels count as "dark" — useful for light motifs on a dark background, or vice versa.

Cleanup

Despeckle: Removes isolated single pixels from the threshold mask over multiple passes — reduces noise before the mask becomes contours or scan runs.
Min run pixels: Minimum length of a continuous dark scan run, in pixels; shorter runs are discarded. Affects both the line-fill preview and the contour mask before tracing.
Simplify px: Simplifies the traced contour paths (Douglas-Peucker tolerance in pixels) — higher values produce fewer anchor points and smoother but coarser paths. Only affects contour mode.

Output mode

Contour paths: Enabled: produces a single closed vector path (SVG <path>) from the traced outlines — suited for cutting, DXF export, and editable shapes in the Artboard. Disabled: produces a line-fill SVG made of many individual rectangles (one scan run per image row) — suited for pure fill engraving, but not editable as a path.
White SVG background: Adds an opaque white background rectangle to the exported SVG; without it, the background stays transparent.

Preview

Original: Shows the loaded source image unchanged, automatically downscaled to the tool's internal size limit.
SVG Preview: Shows the currently computed vector result live on a white background — reacts instantly to threshold, invert, despeckle, and minimum run length.

Export & handoff

Apply & back to laser: Only visible when the tool was opened from a running laser session: hands the vector result back to that exact session as a new object and jumps straight back to the laser view.
Send to laser: Only visible without an active session: opens a confirmation dialog and then drops the vector result into the laser view as a new object.
Export SVG: Downloads the current vector result (contour or line-fill mode) as an SVG file.
Export DXF: Downloads the traced contours as a DXF file (for CAD/CAM software); only available in contour mode.
Insert into Artboard: Only visible without an active laser session: places the vector result as a new object in the active Production Artboard project — in contour mode with real, editable path geometry.
To Relief Studio: Hands the current SVG result to 3D Relief Studio as a shape source and opens it there; depending on output mode, a matching material preset is suggested automatically.
