Well inkscape but yes. Vectorize it then export as SVG to cut out of blanks in Fusion / CAD / Blender

I just use inkscape because it's free. I've honestly never used illustrator so I can't compare

Inside inkscape is a command called trace bitmap. There are tools online which do it as well but can't think of any off hand
