deduplication (or "Combine") feature designed to streamline laser cutting and engraving by removing overlapping vector lines. This ensures the laser does not process the same path multiple times, which prevents over-burning, saves time, and protects materials. Overview of xTool Deduplication In laser design, "overlapping lines" occur when two vector shapes share a boundary or when a file (like a complex DXF or SVG) contains redundant stacked paths. Without deduplication, the laser follows every single line it sees, meaning it would cut a shared wall twice, potentially causing charring or fire. Core Functionalities Overlapping Path Removal
