Setting Cutting Conditions in THICK Mode
When THICK mode is specified in the conditions, the overcutting settings must be completed. For details
on THICK mode settings, see section 4.14 “Specifying THICK Mode Settings.
CHECKPOINT
THICK mode is normally activated when T1 or T2 is selected as the tool.
Mode Selection
Two modes are available for overcutting; choose the mode best suited for your application.
(Default value: Mode 1)
Mode 1 : Perform overcutting for the cutting start and end points and for corners with acute angles to prevent uncut areas. Compared with Mode 2, this supports finer cutting and cutting of thicker media.
Mode 2 : Perform overcutting only for the cutting start and end points. Compared with Mode 1, this supports faster cutting, since less control is required for intermediary cutting.
