Finding Open Paths in SVG Files

Open paths in SVG files are a frequent cause of incomplete cuts on laser machines. This detector goes beyond a simple pass/fail check — it lists every open path with its exact endpoint coordinates and the distance between them, helping you understand the severity of each issue and prioritise fixes.

Real-World Examples & Use Cases

Diagnostics

Diagnose why a laser cutter is not completing a cut by identifying the specific open path and its gap size.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is gap distance useful?▼

Gap distance tells you how far apart the open endpoints are. A 0.01mm gap is easy to close; a 5mm gap indicates a genuinely incomplete path that needs manual correction.
