[[LaserCut 5.3]] relies on the ancient revision 14 of the dxf file standard with limited support for curved line primitives. This can lead to two problems: Either LaserCuts automatic approximation using piece-wise linear functions yields a surprisingly coarse shapes or some splines are ignored completely.
 
We will demonstrate how to use QCADs explode function to solve both problems and provide the user with control over the approximation fidelity.

Optimise your material usage using DeepNest

Convert your 3D Model automagically to a flat arrangement of 2D shapes using Fusion

Take control of curve approximations using QCAD

LaserCut 5.3 relies on the ancient revision 14 of the dxf file standard with limited support for curved line primitives. This can lead to two problems: Either LaserCuts automatic approximation using piece-wise linear functions yields a surprisingly coarse shapes or some splines are ignored completely.

We will demonstrate how to use QCADs explode function to solve both problems and provide the user with control over the approximation fidelity.
