Download Inkscape Gratis

I know there is a command line option with inkscape. I tried to type inkscape on Terminal and there is no such command. I'm confused... Does this mean that I need to install the linux version of inkscape in order to use the command line?

This tutorial will go over how to create drawings and text in inkscape and then create the G Code file needed to run on your 3D printer or CNC machine. We will cover a couple of common items that you can do in inkscape and then use with your laser.

You can do this process for as many objects as you want to have different parameters in the inkscape Laser Tool Plugin. In this example, we have imported a drawing we would like to engrave at one speed and then cut the outside border.

Nodes are the points on a line that define said line. You can have a bunch of nodes on a line but if it's a straight line, you only really need two points at either end. On each node, you can also define the curve of that point. If you have a circle, you'll have 4 points that have equal curves assigned to them to make a perfect circle.

Nodes add a lot of data to a file and make it more rough looking when cut. There is a very quick and easy way in inkscape to reduce the nodes on a shape, which is up to you but since I want to cut the border of this robot, I want the border to be smooth and pretty.

This is a TRADE SECRET btw, so I might be happier if you don't read this part ;P

This is a little complicated to explain if this is your first time messing with vectors, but it will make sense after you do it a few times and see the printed results, laser cut or otherwise.

First, select the shape using the narrow black "node select" arrow. You will see all these tiny squares appear. Look how many nodes there are just to make a wonky square! We could do with far less and the shape would be much more smooth.

All you have to do is go to the "path" menu and select "Simplify"

Voila! less nodes. You can repeat again if needed. The only downside is you'll have to do this to every shape, every tooth, every stripe to get it smooth and pretty.
