Many of our users might have accumulated an excess of leftover materials,  these can become valuable resources rather than mere remnants. Here are some smart ways to utilize these scraps:

Dual-sided Processing

When working on a flat object, consider its two-dimensional nature. Having completed an engrave or design on one side, the other remains untouched. This provides an additional surface ready for further work. For instance, post-engraving on a board's front, its reverse remains unblemished and useful.

Test on Leftovers

Upon completing a cut or engrave, you may have leftover fragments. They can serve as test subjects for future tasks. This approach not only conserves resources but also ensures processing accuracy.

Preemptive Trials

You might be design outcomes or processing parameters, scraps offer a solution. By incorporating simple shapes into your material designs, you can predict the final results. This method saves both time and materials, provides a quick way to obtain test results, and allows for efficient processing.

Utilize the Framing Function

Before starting your project, we strongly recommend using the Frame feature to confirm your processing area. It's also advisable to align your design elements systematically, starting from left to right and top to bottom. This way of arrangement will help you save space and provide room for additional projects.
 

Upcycle for Other Usage

You’ve wrapped up your project, but those scrap pieces are still winking at you. Time to get creative and think about repurposing those leftovers into something brand new! Take a look at this, those cutout parts didn’t go to waste – I turned them into snazzy dog tags. A total win-win!
