Chromebooks and Laser Cutters

[Lucie deLaBruere]

As more and more schools are going 1:1  using Chromebooks, there is a need for a Chrome compatible solution  for creating files on a Chromebook  that can be sent to the laser cutter. 

So far I've seen this video  which mentions the Chrome compatible site http://www.autotracer.org/

to vectorize files

Seems that TinkerCad has some lessons  on saving files as SVG

or

Does anyone have any other solutions for our students who have Chromebooks to create files that can be used on the laser cutter in our Maker Lab.

Have you tried Youidraw? https://www.youidraw.com

I am on my chromebook right now, and discovered this one. Can't say much for it, as I have only played with it for a few minutes. Personally use Inkscape and Illustrator on the Mac, but would also love to have a chromebook option.
