Who this is for

Manufacturing engineers

You work with ESPRIT 2020, Mastercam X, or ArtCAM and the image-trace tools of your own software emit 50,000 polylines that your CAM cannot open. You need R12 DXF, outline-only output, and a live compatibility check before export.

CNC & laser shops

You run Vectric VCarve, Aspire, or LightBurn on a daily basis. Each customer logo arrives as a raster JPG. You need clean DXF with the right CAM-layer presets so your toolpath dialogs work in one click.

CAD-reference artists

You trace photographs into CAD (AutoCAD, Fusion 360, DraftSight) as a precision light-table for drawing, muraling, and mixed-media layout. You need outline-only, correct scale, and the ability to mark exactly what to keep.

What you get

The CAM Bundle is the full CAM feature suite that makes VectoSolve actually useful for legacy industrial software, and it is not sold separately: it comes with every plan, from Starter at 25 conversions a month for $49/yr, unused ones rolling over.

Capability	Free preview	Pro ($129/yr)	Starter ($49/yr)
Conversions	1 / day	100 / month	25 / month
Credits	—	20 / month	5 / month
SVG export	✅ watermarked
DXF export (AutoCAD 2000)
DXF export R12 (Legacy)
Per-CAM target selector
CAD Reference preset
Real-world width
Live CAM compatibility analyzer
Shading Filter (edge-preserving)
Focus Regions (drag rectangle)
Click-to-point markers
Paint Mask brush
Auto-detect face features
Multi-DXF layered ZIP
Per-target import README
Unused credits roll over	—

Every feature on this table is included from the Starter plan up. Nothing is gated behind a tier — the difference is how many conversions a month you get. Pro is the better fit if you use the tool 10+ times per week.

Real workflow — manufacturing engineer, ESPRIT 2020

A US-based manufacturing engineer running ESPRIT 2020 on a legacy CAM setup was importing customer-supplied portraits into CAD as drawing references for mixed-media art layouts. Generic vectorizers produced 74,000-entity DXFs that crashed ESPRIT. After manually editing shadow lines out of each import, the workflow was taking 30-60 minutes per photo.

With the CAM Bundle workflow, the same photos now import in under two minutes:

1. Upload photo → dashboard/laser
2. Pick ESPRIT as CAM target (auto-sets R12, inch, no CAM-layer preset)
3. Turn on Shading Filter preprocess (flattens cheek shading, keeps lip lines)
4. Pick the CAD Reference preset (outline-only, sub-2,000 entities)
5. Paint a preserve mask around the features that matter (eyebrows, eyes, nostrils, lips)
6. Enter real-world width (5.5 inches)
7. Download DXF → File > Open in ESPRIT, lands at exact scale

"Wow! The feedback I sent last week is what shaped this. Everything I asked for is now in the tool."

The features you actually need for CAM

R12 DXF + AutoCAD 2000

Pick R12 (AC1009) for ESPRIT, Mastercam, ArtCAM, older VCarve. AutoCAD 2000 (AC1015) for Fusion 360, modern VCarve, LightBurn. The CAM target dropdown sets both automatically per software.

CAM compatibility analyzer

Before you download, a live badge tells you how the DXF will behave on import: Simple, Medium, Heavy, or Extreme. One-click "Retry with CAD Reference" if the file is too dense.

Shading Filter

Edge-preserving bilateral + Sauvola adaptive threshold. Flattens smooth tonal gradients (cheek lighting, hair shadow) while keeping sharp features (lip lines, eyelashes) intact. Exactly what pros do in Photoshop, in one click.

Focus Regions + Paint Mask

Drag rectangles around detail zones, click-to-point for fast markers, or paint a freeform mask around the contours you want preserved. Everything outside the mask is dropped before tracing.

Auto-detect faces

MediaPipe BlazeFace runs in your browser, finds eyes, nose and mouth automatically, and generates High Detail crops of each. Zero clicks for the common portrait workflow.

Combined DXF + per-layer ZIP

Default download is a single DXF with silhouette + focus regions merged at correct scale and position. The ZIP option adds silhouette-only and per-region DXFs for users who want distinct toolpaths per layer.

Path dedup (byte-equal + geometric)

Two-pass dedup strips byte-equal duplicate paths and near-parallel fill-to-stroke outlines before DXF export. No more doubled silhouette lines that CAM cuts twice.

Per-target import README

Every ZIP ships a README.txt with import instructions for your chosen CAM target (ESPRIT / Mastercam / VCarve / LightBurn / Fusion 360). Copy-paste commands, no guessing.

CAM Bundle FAQ

Is the CAM Bundle a separate product?

No. It is the set of CAM features on this page, and every one of them — R12 DXF, G-code, the CAM presets — is included from the Starter plan up. There is no CAM pack to buy on its own; credit packs bought before 16 September 2026 keep their credits, and they still do not expire. See /pricing.

How many credits does one DXF export cost?

One conversion is 0.20 credit: one credit covers five finished files. DXF export with advanced options (R12, CAM preset, multi-layer ZIP) does not cost extra credits — it is the same conversion.

Do credits expire?

Credits bought before 16 September 2026 never expire — use them over weeks or months. On a subscription, unused conversions roll over month to month.

Can I use the same credits for other features like background removal or upscale?

Yes. Credits are the universal currency on VectoSolve. Vectorize, remove background, upscale, AI animate, AI generate, logo — all draw from the same credit pool. This page is about the CAM features, but the credits on your plan work on every other tool too.

Will the API work with my credits too?

The REST API v1 at /api/v1/vectorize charges the same credit pool. The credits on your plan can be spent on programmatic batch conversions too. Advanced features like Shading Filter and Paint Mask currently require the browser UI — server-side API support is on the roadmap once we see demand.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Your plan refills every month, and unused conversions roll over. For more volume, Pro carries 100 conversions a month. Every plan can be cancelled anytime.

Which plan fits a CAM workflow?

Plans run from $7.99/month (25 conversions a month) to $14.99/month (100 conversions a month). Every CAM feature is in each of them; what changes is how many conversions a month you get.

Can I get a refund if the tool doesn't work for my CAM software?

We offer free preview on every conversion before you buy — so you can verify output quality on your own image first. Once credits are used we don't refund them, but we will work with you to get the right DXF if something fails on import. Email us and we reply.
