The Gerber files are what you are looking for.

The data is ASCII and typically does not have decimal places so you
need to do something to scale the file.

The problem is that your G-code will cut the traces and leave all the
copper. This is exactly the opposite of what is needed. You need to
cut the copper and leave the traces.

Look for ISOLATION or TRACE ISOLATION software.
