Using ShaperTape™
Origin uses ShaperTape to define your workpiece.
When you’re ready to cut with Origin, lay down
ShaperTape on the workpiece. For best results,
place strips of ShaperTape every 3 inches (8 cm)
or closer. Strips need not be parallel.
Only apply ShaperTape on the same plane as
your cut surface. Placing ShaperTape at different
heights will impact cut accuracy and quality.
Origin should be able to glide across any
ShaperTape you’ve put down. Ensure that
ShaperTape covers the area that you plan to cut,
as well as the space a few inches (or about 15 cm)
in front of your cut area so that Origin can always
see some markers. For more details on optimal
ShaperTape placement, visit
