Plus, if that level of accuracy is required simply adding more nodes improves accuracy exponentially.
Not least, the “standard” approximation really should be updated in software, as modern 4-node approximations are down to 0.005%, almost an order of magnitude better.
If you got a machine that's accurate to 1200 dpi presumably you want 1200 dpi and not 600.
If all the lines were off, then yes, kinda. Ish.
According to another comment, it actually improves at O(n^6).
I sincerely hope that the upcoming Windows third-party print driver deprecation kills this.
(Also, what’s wrong with them? Even ignoring cost, I would rather have a Chinese printer that had a publicly known control interface and supported Lightburn than a “nice” American laser printer that was only operable with bad proprietary software.)
When you're cutting things on a laser, there's myriad sources of error. Odds are the optical path isn't completely square, so there's some cross coupling between axes. There's drive belts. The laser is often pulsed. There's taper.
