I wanted share a program with you’all called Stencilfy. This is a web based app that can take about any font you have on your PC and make a text field input convert to a Plasma Friendly SVG output.

What makes this free program even more Amazing is that you can run it directly off your PC. I have noticed the website this Node.JS based app is running on is sometime unavailable. Well, no problem. If it is down and you have some IT-FU you can run it locally on your pc by following the github instructions found here: GitHub - ttseng/Stencilfy: Node application for creating stencil version of text for laser cutting

I hope you’all find it as useful as I have.

It only outputs SVG. You can use other online tools like SVG to DXF | CloudConvert to convert to DXF.

Thanks! It even plays well with Fusion 360. For some reason I’ve had trouble importing most of the stencil fonts in Inkscape to F360. (any tips on this issue would be welcome…).

You don’t need to download an app to use the font. You can directly use web fonts for free here.
