How to convert a 2D-image (b/w) into a 3D object?

[rk.services.trusted]

Hello,

I am designing electronic PCBs with KiCAD, not Fusion 360 (no pun intended).

I want to exposure photosensitive PCB material with my SLA-3D-printer. To do this I need an STL file generated from the KiCAD-layout-data (Gerber/SVG).

Is there a reasonable simple way to import this 2D graphics files in a Fusion 360 and then extrude all black parts of that image?

Please note: since PCB layouts tend to be rather detailed and complex, it is of no use to draw a sketch and use the SVG-import feature. It is just not feasable to select all the profiles to be extruded.

I use Convertio conversion routine for JPEG to SVG conversions all the time.  I grabbed your image and sent it through the process and have attached the resulting Fusion 360 2D Sketch so you can be the judge.  I checked most of the sketch for complete profiles and I think it pretty good.  Model is attached.
