Material Type. In the Material Type menu, you will be provided with a list of common materials that can be cut with the Silhouette as well as all specialty materials offered from Silhouette America. Click on a material from the list to select it. You may add User Defined media types into this list by clicking on the plus sign in the media list, and likewise remove any unwanted material types by clicking on the minus sign. When you select a material type from the list (or create your own), recommended cut settings will appear. If you need to adjust these settings for your specific material, you may do so. Your changes will be saved for future projects, so it is generally preferable to create custom settings rather than altering existing settings. Blade Setting Recommendation – Though the software and actual Silhouette unit will not know what blade level you are actually using, the recommendation will provide you with a visual cue on what blade setting should be used for the intended media based on the blade type for your cutting tool model. The Sketch Pen selection refers to Silhouette sketch pens that fit directly into the Silhouette unit where the blade would usually be loaded and is intended to be used when sketching rather than cutting. Speed – The Speed is measured in centimeters per second x 10. In other words, the Silhouette can cut from 10 centimeters per second up to 100 centimeters per second. To achieve the best results, slower speeds may be recommended for thicker materials or designs that are more intricate. Track Enhancing – This check box notifies the program that you wish to enable the Track Enhancing feature, which will roll your material into the Silhouette and back out several times prior to cutting in order to create a track where the rollers are gripping the material in order to ensure the material stays on track during the cutting process. This option should only be used if it is already pre-selected for your material type or if you are having issues with a specific material type slipping during cutting and causing the resulting cuts to be misaligned. Line Segment Overcut Once a material type is selected, you will find a Line Segment Overcut option that can be turned on or off by clicking on the desired option: Selecting the “Off” option will have all lines cut normally. Selecting the “On” option will have all straight corners cut with a slight overcut. This option is beneficial for providing cleaner cutting results in the following conditions: • Cut...

Material Type. Helicopter synthetic longlines shall be constructed from the HMWPE or HMPE (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) family of rope fibers including brand names such as Spectra by Allied Signal or fibers with similar properties. Spectra has very high strength, high flex fatigue life, very low stretch (less than 1 percent elongation at 30 percent of break strength), excellent chemical resistance, and less than 1 percent water absorption. Another high strength, high performance rope fiber is Vectran produced by Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx. Rope brand names made from these types of fibers include Plasma 12, Spectron II, and Spectron 12 or AmSteel. Ropes from these fibers are usually twelve-strand or double-braid construction.
