Standoff affects the dimensional accuracy of the cut
Standoff is the distance from the tip of the mixing tube to the surface of the material being cut. Most
users can choose a standoff distance and not need to change it. However, if the target material
properties change, you may need to make changes to the standoff value in FlowCut. Entering the
correct standoff is important—it affects the dimensional accuracy of the cut. If you enter the wrong
information, the programmed parts will not be cut accurately.
Large angles on a part require setting a large standoff. If a sufficient standoff is not set, the mixing tube
can hit the material being cut.
In the example shown here, the actual standoff is larger than what has been programmed into FlowCut.
The result is that the part being cut will be smaller than what is desired (conversely, a smaller actual
standoff will result in a bigger part). The amount of error is also a function of how much tilt the wrist
applies—the greater the tilt, the greater the error.
