Beam offset on exposure of the contour
If the path of the centre of the laser beam moves along the nominal contour of the
part during exposure, the contour of the part is enlarged by the radius of the curing
zone of the laser beam. The beam offset compensates for this contour enlargement.
It displaces the centre of the path of the laser beam inwards.
