Production checks

Overlap Checker

Shapes that overlap and will double-cut.

How it works

01

Drop the cutting file

SVG or DXF, exactly as you would send it to the machine.

02

Review the report

Open paths, duplicates, overlaps, self-intersections, specks, thin parts, live text, raster images and sheet fit.

03

Fix and re-check

Flagged shapes are outlined on the mat; each issue names the tool that fixes it.

Common questions

Are open paths always wrong?

No — engraving lines are meant to be open. They are flagged as warnings so you can confirm they are intentional.

What is a thin part?

A closed shape that vanishes when inset by half the minimum feature size — it will burn away or snap off.

Why check for duplicates?

Stacked copies make the machine cut the same line twice, which scorches laser cuts and tears vinyl.
