Case study

studio3svg: reconstructing the Silhouette Studio document format

studio3svg reconstructs readable parts of Silhouette Studio .studio3 documents and converts their cut outlines to millimetre-based SVG. Its format specification records section structure, shapes, page size and stored previews, while a CLI, library and browser converter implement the reader.
