Silhouette Cameo Post Processor

[CaptCorpMURICA]

Vectric’s form tools include drag knives which can turn my Onefinity into a large vinyl cutter. However, has anyone developed a post processor to use Vectric with vinyl cutting machines like the Silhouette Cameo or Cricut? Would this even be possible? I would love to use one CAD/CAM software for all my 2D CNC machines (router, laser, and vinyl).

I used to use one of those years ago before moving to a large format vinyl cutter. The problem as I see it would be that the design software and controlling software is one item for them.

Getting the code from VCarve to the machine would be an issue. All the alternatives that I can see on the 'net are just drawing programs that then have their graphic files loaded into Design Space to do the actual cutting.

Hello... if you have Cut2D Pro, VCarve Pro or Aspire you will have a Dragknife Gadget...

This should help you...

As far as I can see from the generally available information on both these machines, they require the use of their own control software which I do not know if they can load gCode commands like the ones we output from our software.
