DO- Check All Blue Lines

Posted by Laser Tech on

Ginger is new to designing vectors for laser cutting. She was sure that if you put one shape on top of the other that both shapes would cut out without being cut off. Nope. 

Ginger failed to realize that the laser sees all blue cut lines even the cutlines that are covered with white fill. Good thing she ordered a sample before she placed her order.

Don't Cover Up Lines!

 
Ginger's original file looks OK to the eye, but will actually cut through the bolt completely. It results in the heart line cutting out completely through the bolt, resulting in an unusable piece.

 

Do Re

 
Ginger's Final File Setup - even with no fill looks good. A great way to test your lines is to remove the fill. Now the results show two funtional pieces!
