1
Prepare the file
Create an image in SVG, BMP, JPG or PNG format using Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape, or find a suitable image on the internet. google Then upload the file into the program.
Click on an example to download the ready SVG file.

2
Add the file to the program
After uploading, the program will automatically build the foam cutting path based on the black and white areas of the image.

How the cutting path is built
If you need to cut a square, simply draw a black square of the required size. The program will build the path based on its shape.
If you need a square with a hole, draw a black square and place a white circle of the required diameter on top of it. Then the path will work like this: first the wire will move to the circle, cut the hole, and then continue cutting the main shape.
If you do not like how the approach to the hole is built, draw a thin white line from the edge of the part to the circle. Then the path to the hole will follow that line exactly.

Guide to buttons and parameters
DPI countUsed to adjust the part scale according to the image DPI. If the file has a different DPI, the part size may change.
OffsetThis is the distance to the foam. It is used for safe wire approach and retract.
Heat delayThis is the time for heating up the wire. Heating starts first, and only after this time ends does the movement begin.
DistanceA parameter for manual axis movement. The machine will move by this distance when the manual control buttons are pressed.
SpeedUsed for manual movement, cutting, and simulation. The higher the value, the faster the movement and path display.
Upload imageAllows you to select and upload a file for path generation.
Outline onlyKeeps only the outer contour of the image without extra internal details, if needed for cutting.
StartStarts the cutting process using the generated path.
HomeReturns the machine axes to the home position.
ResetResets the current state, stops execution, and allows you to start over.
Wire onTurns on the wire heating manually.
Wire offTurns off the wire heating manually.
Zoom in / Zoom outChanges the scale of the path or work area view.

Check the result
Before starting, make sure that the contours, holes, and approach lines are displayed correctly. After that, you can start cutting.
