Calculating Cut Length in the Part Setup Menu
The Cut Length value is a value that can be entered manually or calculated automatically. Calculate the cut length of the tube in the Part Setup menu in either STEP or LASER modes. To calculate the cut length, right click on the Part Setup menu, and choose "Calculate Cut Length". |
How to Calculate and Remove Elongation From the Cut Length
VTube also uses the Tube Elongation Percentage value to remove anticipated elongation. |
