2.5.2.4 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 are more difficult and require 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 substrates is then relatively short, whereas fibrous
substrates 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, so 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 takes a bit more time to set correctly.
