Microjoint

Microjoint

Withdrawal

The Microjoint section of the Laser Cut panel is used to set up the microjoint (if any) at the end of the cut.

  • Microjoint: This checkbox is used to turn the microjoint on and off. (You can also use the Contour panel to add multiple microjoints on a contour, or to remove microjoints, combining two laser cuts into one).

  • Width: The microjoint width.

Types of microjoints

There are several different types of microjoints possible, and you can configure the type of microjoints using the Machine Settings:

Soft Microjoint
  • Choose the Settings icon on the left toolbar and select Machine Settings [1].

  • Navigate to the Settings → Cut CAM page.

  • In the Microjoint settings section, select a type from the Preferred microjoint type.

The different types of microjoint are indicated with different colors, and if you move the mouse close to the microjoint, the tooltip indicates the type of microjoint, as seen in the image on the right.


1. You can also use the keyboard sequence T B.
