Beyond safety, the dedup option serves a vital role in operational efficiency. Laser engraving is a time-consuming process, and every unnecessary movement of the laser head adds minutes to a project. In a production environment where a maker is fulfilling orders, these wasted minutes accumulate into lost hours and reduced profit margins. A complex design with accidental overlapping vectors could double or triple the processing time. The dedup option automates what would otherwise be a tedious manual troubleshooting process. Without it, a user would have to meticulously inspect every node and path in their design to ensure no stacking has occurred. The automation provided by the dedup feature streamlines the transition from digital design to physical product.
Always use the Preview function before starting the laser to see if the machine plans to cut the same line multiple times. xtool dedup option
: Found in Settings , this feature allows you to set a tolerance value (e.g., 0.1mm). When you import a DXF file, the software automatically links disconnected segments and ignores overlapping lines that fall within that tolerance. Beyond safety, the dedup option serves a vital
