Laser Kerf

Laser Kerf will adjust one half of the laser kerf value outside each component perimeter and one half of the laser kerf inside inner cutouts. The name implies utility for laser manufacturing, but it could also be used when working with a CNC to account for a router bit diameter.

The value of this setting is a floating-point number in the current default units. This option is available when the Map Output Type is set to DXF File on the Options tab.

Shown here are the additional options for the DXF file export, including Laser Kerf.
