Chapter 3, Cutter Settings and Special Functions 39
SMOOTHING
Smoothing rounds sharp corners. It can be set on or off. Depending on
your choice, the cutter cuts obtuse angles differently.
If the complementary angle (n) between two consecutive vectors A and B
is larger than the smoothing angle, the cutter will slow down and cut a
sharp corner (1). If the angle is smaller, the cutter will maintain its speed
and cut a rounded corner (2). The optimum smoothing angle is calculated
internally.
When smoothing is turned off, all corners will be cut sharply. The time
difference between cutting a job with smoothing on and cutting it with
smoothing off is negligible.
