G-code Converter: How To Convert To G-Code
---
G-code is a programming language for computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines – it instructs them on where to move, the speed at which they should move, how deep the router should cut the material, and more. To use G-code, CNC machinists can write the instructions from scratch, tweak existing G-code, or create G-code using a CAM software program. Alternatively, they can convert CAD files to G-code, an option that is Scan2CAD’s forte.

This tutorial teaches how to use Scan2CAD, the ultimate G-code converter, to convert an image or CAD file to G-code. It features step-by-step instructions on how to convert a simple logo – in this case, Ford’s logo – into G-code. Also, learn how to clean up the converted drawing using the CNC smoothing and Optimize vectors tools.

Ease the process of creating G-code for your CNC projects by downloading, installing, and using Scan2CAD, the ultimate G-code converter.
