Packages, but in 3D!
summary
A web app called SVG Tracer converts photos of printed packaging diagrams into machine-ready SVGs that separate cut and score paths, using an image-to-vector step, boolean geometry to extract score lines, and path simplification to replace blobs with lines. Testing on a complex design with 75 scoring lines yields up to 35% faster cutting; exported SVGs load into desktop cutter software and produce assembled boxes after the usual manual gluing and folding.
