Extracts from deskam website:

Features:

DeskART will import a BMP, GIF, JPEG, WMF, or TIFF image.
Convert the image into a 3D DXF Surface Mesh of 3D faces or directly
into machineable G-Code.
.
Provides basic Raster to Vector conversion based on Image Depth with
built in Topography and Vectorize settings.
Tool paths can be smoothed with curve fitting and Entity count can be
reduced significantly

Hope that is what you are looking for
