You will need to use a program like CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator to convert it into a vector format.  For free vector software, I found this list http://www.onextrapixel.com/2011/03/15/ … lustrator/.  Also, you can google for "free vector conversion" & find some tools that will just do the trace for you.  However, I have no idea how good those might be since I use Corel.

Cool I'll look into one of these. I think I had inkscape at one point.

If your image is a vector format and can be saved/exported as a .svg file, Autodesk 123D Design should work.

How can I make a monchrome bitmap or jpg into a vector format? I basically want to somehow trace the shape and extrude it into 3 dimensions.
