· Printing Stencils - SVG files to STL. inverting the empty space with the cutting pieces
You can load images into cura. Remove any models and do "file" "open" and just choose an image file like the ones above.
You can make the white areas "high" or the black "high". you can make the "low" so low there is no material printed. You can do grayscale as well. You can adjust the "base" (which you probably want as zero) and the height, etc.

Or if doing it the easy way like @gr5 suggested is too easy for you, just invert the colours in the SVG and do whatever you did to turn them into an STL again (I usually import the SVG into OpenSCAD and just extrude it).
