Pass-Thru option

Post by MikeUSNRet »

Have spent quite an amount of time manipulating / editing an image using my favorite image editing software and using the associated plug-ins etc. The laser module needs to have a pass-thru setting available. I do not need any further dithering, rastering etc beyond what I already have in the edited image.

Hi Mike,

Without dithering switched on then we don't actually do much image manipulation . The only editing we do is to resample the image so that the lines of the image coincide with with the raster lines of the toolpath. Were these things to coincide then we won't need to to resample at all. So with your image editing software as long as the pixel size is set to the stepover size it should just work out.

This isn't 100% true because we have to catch scary cases where the lasers we tested would choke on the small moves, so it could be that is what you are seeing.

Cheers,
Adam
