Cut through
The cutting-through functionality is focused on cutting simple shapes (such as rectangles). It is mostly used in
combination with contour cutting.
An interrupted cutting line (with small bridges) enables the substrate to stay together. When the job is nished,
the cut pieces can be torn out.
