Nice! Can it output SVG files for cutting w/ a CNC?

CNC uses SVG? I am only familiar with 3d printers and assumed SVG would be too primitive and CNC would use STL or something like that?

Some of the CAM tools, esp. those oriented towards hobbyists will import an SVG --- Vectric Vcarve notably, and (ob. discl., I work for the company) Carbide Create.

Ages ago there was a Flash file, PartKam (also forked to MakerCAM) which used SVG as its native format.

I do not believe so. It is a python script for autodesk fusion and I am not aware of any way to export SVG's from fusion.

Not an issue though, since Fusion 360 has CAM.
