Grid that allow big and small shapes to be cutted #36

Closed JannesHN closed 6 years ago

JannesHN commented 6 years ago

The grid in the water tables, on which the sheet metals is placed, is decisive for the size of the shapes that can be cutted. Making a finer grid, that might be placed on top of the larger grid, allows for smaller shapes to be cutted by the machine.

I do not think so Jannes. The grid is decisive only on the parent material that will be cut. Finer grid will make the cut more problematic and prone to failure. I was already considering to remove the flat metals and replace them with pyramid shapes, but other reasons like availability stopped me from doing so
