Make Any Image into an SVG using Illustrator for Glowforge Laser Cutter Engraver
Channel: Kim and Garrett Make It!
Date: 2020-05-22

This week we upped our Glowforge Pro game by using Illustrator to convert a JPG into an SVG!  We took a picture from Pinterest and converted into an SVG using the Illustrator Trace Image tool. Then, gave the laser scoring lines a blue stroke and the laser cut lines a red stroke.  Exported the design as an SVG.  Used the Glowforge UI App to import the SVG as a cut file.  Selected the red layer for laser cutting, and selected the blue layer for laser scoring. Then, we cut out an 18" MDF round using our X-carve.

We created a new DIY 3D Front Door hanger and made it available as a new kit for our store!  We've used our Glowforge a couple of times now and have learned some new tips and tricks.  In this video we show you how you can use Adobe Illustrator to make customized home decor!
