XML are text files. Your laser cutting machine uses G-Code which is a text file. You will need a post processor to take the the cutting path and translated to a G-Code file. If it is a simple cutting path, in most cases it can be done manually by following the G-Code your laser cutting machine accepts.

To export to .xml from SolidWorks or Tekla Structures for tube laser cutting, you’ll need to ensure the file format is compatible with your laser machine's software (e.g., Trumpf, BLM, or Mazak systems).
