If you export it as an STL it is downgraded to a mesh, which is a surface made of triangles.

There is a Path workbench in FreeCAD which can generate GCode. Currently it is mainly for cnc mills.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.
