I bring in a 2d dxf file and convert it to gcode; I think it's a Repetrel function, not even calling a slicer. And we analyze it to order the moves efficiently (it's not always one long continuous cut).
However, you could model the shape you wanted cut and then slice it with one solid perimeter, perimeters first, and then delete all layers above layer one, and then delete all lines of infill. This would leave a single path of perimeter. Then, by adjusting your print speed, you would control the amount of penetration; darker colored foam generally cuts faster than lighter colored foam of the same composition and density.
