Image Lab: AI Vector Artist
Convert any photo to sharp AI line art in one pass and download both a raster PNG for engraving and a traced SVG for cutting and LightBurn.
What this tutorial covers
- One-pass AI conversion of a photo into sharp, engraving-ready line art.
- Both a raster PNG (for grayscale engraving) and a traced SVG (for cutting).
- Direct LightBurn import of the vector SVG paths.
- Auto-save results to your Armory texture library.
Validate the workflow on your machine
Treat the finished file as a controlled starting point, not a universal machine recipe. Confirm the artwork dimensions after import, verify focus and lens selection, and run a small test on scrap from the same material batch before committing the production piece. Change one variable at a time when tuning speed, power, frequency, line interval, or pass count. Record the machine, source wattage, lens, material finish, focus method, and final settings with the saved job. That short production note makes the result repeatable for the next operator and prevents a strong screen preview from being mistaken for a proven burn.
