● CUT-READY OUTPUT — DXF · HPGL · G-CODE · DIE-LINE

From vector to
machine-ready in one click.

One trace becomes four cut-ready formats: R2010 DXF with per-color layers, HPGL/PLT for vinyl plotters, G-code for CO₂ lasers & CNC routers, and a kiss-cut die-line with adjustable bleed. Y-up, polyline-flattened, machine-tested.

Kiss-cut die-line with bleed

Generate a single closed contour around your sticker art, dial the bleed offset, and export a kiss-cut-ready die-line.

01 / 03
Formats

One trace. Four ways to cut it.

Every export is generated from the same refined vector, so your cut files always match your artwork — no re-drawing, no open contours, no surprises on the machine.

📐

DXF (R2010)

One layer per extracted color, Y-up coordinate space, curves flattened to polyline segments every CAD package understands.

🖊️

HPGL / PLT

Native plotter language for vinyl cutters — pen-per-color PLT files ready to plot on Graphtec, Roland and similar cutters.

🔥

G-code

Toolpath output for CO₂ lasers & CNC routers with configurable feed rate, power and units. Imports into LightBurn & Mach3.

✂️

Cut-Contour Die-Line

A single closed outline around your artwork with an adjustable bleed offset — perfect for sticker kiss-cutting and die cutting.

️

Y-Up, Unit-Aware

DXF exported in the CAD Y-up convention with mm / inch units, so files land correctly oriented in AutoCAD & LibreCAD.

🧵

Polyline Flattening

Béziers are flattened to a configurable chord tolerance, so curves cut smooth on machines that only speak straight lines.

Workflow

Trace → tune → cut

Trace & refine

Drop a logo, trace it, refine colors and geometry. The same vector feeds every cut format, so cut files always match the art.

Tune bleed & tolerance

Set the die-line bleed offset and polyline chord tolerance. Preview the cut path over your artwork before exporting.

Export & cut

Export DXF, HPGL, G-code or die-line SVG in one click. Files open oriented and scaled correctly on your machine.

Compatibility

Tested on the machines you already own

Outputs are validated against the controllers and CAD packages sign makers, makerspaces and print shops use every day.

FAQ

Cut-file questions, answered

What DXF version does Vecspine export?

R2010 DXF with one layer per extracted color, Y-up coordinate space, and all curves flattened to polyline segments every machine understands.

Will the DXF work with my laser cutter or CNC router?

Yes. Outputs are tested on vinyl cutters, CO₂ lasers, CNC routers and AutoCAD / LibreCAD, and import cleanly into LightBurn, Mach3 and similar controllers.

What is HPGL/PLT used for?

HPGL/PLT is the native language of vinyl plotters. Vecspine exports pen-per-color PLT files ready to plot on Graphtec, Roland and Silhouette-class devices.

What is a cut-contour die-line?

A single closed outline around your artwork with an adjustable bleed offset, used for sticker kiss-cutting and die cutting. The bleed is adjustable so your kiss-cut lands exactly where it should.

What units and orientation are the files in?

DXF is Y-up (CAD convention) in mm or inch units; G-code is generated for CO₂ lasers and CNC routers with configurable feed and power.

Do cut files match the artwork exactly?

Yes. Every cut format is generated from the same refined vector, and curves are flattened to a configurable chord tolerance so curves cut smooth on straight-line machines.

Stop hand-fixing cut files.

Trace once, then export DXF, HPGL, G-code and kiss-cut die-lines that run on your machine the first time.
