Plasma cutting machines cut metal sheet by guiding a plasma torch along programmed toolpaths. The paths come from vector geometry loaded into CAM software — typically as DXF files. Logos cut into steel plates, aluminium signs, or decorative metal panels all start as vector files.
Vectorizing a logo for plasma cutting: 1. Upload the logo PNG or JPG to the Logo Vectorizer. 2. The protected preview is available without an account; editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. 3. Open in Inkscape. 4. Simplify paths aggressively: Path > Simplify. Plasma cutters work on metal with a wide kerf (the width of material removed). Overly fine detail results in destroyed geometry at cut width. Design minimum feature size should be at least 2–3mm larger than the kerf width. 5. Export to DXF (File > Save As > DXF in Inkscape). 6. Import the DXF into the plasma CAM software (Hypertherm ProNest, SheetCam, FastCAM). 7. Generate lead-in/lead-out paths and cutting sequences before nesting and cutting.
