I know there’s a few workflow options that use Inkscape for doing 2D cut-outs. Including in this forum from @Orob : [Generating GCODE with Inkscape instead of CAM software](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/generating-gcode-with-inkscape-instead-of-cam-software/12058)

That might be a good option that doesn’t have quite the lift/learning curve of CAD software.
