Quality

How smooth the outlines are and which tiny details are dropped.

Lower tolerance and smoothing follow the model more closely but make bigger files and slower cuts. Min detail and Island size drop slivers the laser cannot cut cleanly.

Options

Tolerance0.01 to 5 mm · step 0.05 mm
How far the straight segments of an outline may stray from the true curve. Smaller is smoother but makes bigger files.
Smoothing0 to 1 · step 0.05
Rounds off small bumps in each slice outline, from 0 (none) to 1 (strong).
Min detail0 to 50 mm · step 0.5 mm
Details narrower than this are removed because the laser cannot cut them cleanly.
Island mm²0 to 10000 · step 5
Separate pieces smaller than this area (in mm²) are left out.
