Contour Cutting 3-20
3.5.2.1
Material without a backing
Although FlexCut was designed for usage with standard vinyl (typical two layered
material), it is also used with single layered material.
In this case the settings of the parameters is more difficult and requires more trial and
error tests than calibrating FlexCut for normal vinyl.
The only parameter that can be determined easily is the full pressure.
The FlexCut pressure is very material depended. Plastics need a relative high FlexCut
pressure. Fibrous material then needs relative lower FlexCut pressures.
The FlexCut pressure length of plastic materials is then relative short, while fibrous
materials need longer ‘bridges’ to keep the material together in order to move it back
and forth.
However, the principle is the same. The parameters need to be set this way the bridges
are strong enough to be able to move the material back and forth. But the bridges
need to be small enough, so they are practically invisible once the object is removed
from the material.
A secondary help might be the adjustment of the panel size. With very weak material,
lower the panel size.
Overall, the parameter setting for single layered material is difficult to do correctly.
