For
Laser-cutter users preparing SVG designs
Worth noticing
Conversion is described as node-by-node, with text outlined, duplicate lines removed, contours closed, and dimensions written in millimetres.

Field notes

BeamReady’s page frames conversion as geometry cleanup as well as format change: it lists text outlining, duplicate-line removal, closed contours, millimetre dimensions, and separate colour layers. It says the files have been checked in LightBurn and xTool Studio, using designs from several named vector tools. A set of linked guides addresses failure cases including filled-in holes, missing text, wrong import size, and a laser cutting the same line twice.
