Reduced warping of sheer steel
Reduced warping of sheer steel
Am cutting a large number of 3/4in squares, much like welded wire mesh, with just 1/8th between squares. Was wondering if there is a way to set the cut order to bounce around the sheet and not build up heat (warping) so much. In the past the cut path tends to stay in the general area and add too much heat to a smaller area, this the warping. I keep the water level about 1/2in below the sheet, but still an some cuts O get some warping. This project needs to remain very flat. Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Reduced warping of sheer steel
In your jet cutting oeration go to the cut path tab. Set the optimisation to auto and the cutting rules to 'minimuse thermal distortion'. That should help.

Thanks, I suspected there was a way. Your suggestion worked.
