    Laser cutting elastic fabric help

    Greetings,

    I'm using Optitex office suit (pds, marker) to design fabric pieces, than export them to .DXF and import with CNC machine software (LaserWork)

    When I'm cutting non elastic fabric I get pieces very well cutted, but when I'm trying to cut elastic fabric every piece is smaller than it should be, I cannot find place where can I add shrinkage compensation of material to particular piece.

    If anyone has some idea what could I try I would be more than grateful

    BR

    Dear BR
    Here's a solution may help you:
    Actual cutting/engraving size is different from what you want
    good luck.
