Here is a tutorial on image to file procedural method using the Paint program and how to clean it up to SVG or other formats. The last half shows moving into a STL for 3-D printing if you like, the first part will help to make files for plasma cutting.

Re: tutorial of image to file assembly
Tom - that's a very interesting tutorial. I do use and like Paint.net. I had not heard of the free program he used to convert from png to svg. I'll have to check that one out. I would personally go with Fusion 360 for the final step as that is the program I am used to using for my 3D printing. Pretty cool stuff and lot's of fun to be had!!
