    Vector or Raster image to gcode

    Hello all,

    I am looking for a method or software to convert an image to gcode. I have an image in a raster format (i.e. jpeg) or vector format (matlab). I have access to Solidworks, SolidCAM and AutoCAD.

    Example image:
    http://sweetclipart.com/multisite/sw...lack_white.png

    Essentially i want the tool to mill away where there is black on the image. I do not want it to just trace or do a line drawing around the black areas.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    bonchai
