I used Rhino 5 with a Universal Laser in a class I took at a local community college. I have now purchased an Epilog Fusion laser and am having trouble with vector cutting curves. The speed and movement on a straight line vector cut seems normal and smooth, but on curves the laser head is jerky an…

Hi Christine, Just to clarify, when you ‘output’ to the Epilog laser, are you printing directly to it? Or, are you export some file from Rhino, perhaps DXF, and then importing this file into some other application which sends the geometry to the Epilog laser? Thanks, – Dale

I am sending the print job directly to the epilog from Rhino using the print function. The Epilog shows up as a “printer” and I am able to set the speed, power, frequency and other settings in the print options window. Then the file shows up on Epilog’s panel (on the laser itself) as a job ready t…

Sounds like the Epilog print driver is converting splines to segmented polylines. What happens if you convert your splines to arcs and then reprint. Alternatively, if the epilog has its own layout software, try saving a DXF out from Rhino with arcs instead of splines. It should be able to import a …

[image] cdordoni: convert your splines to arcs and then reprint. Thanks, cdordni. I am new to CAD software and Rhino and have no graphic design background. I am not sure what the difference is between splines and arcs, but I will do a little research and try that and let you know how it goe…

Hi Christine, You might also try the Rhino 6 Work-In-Progress (WIP) version to see if you get better results when printing. You can find a link to download the Rhino WIP in the Serengeti category here on Discourse. – Dale
