Definition:
Material application with a duration that consists of a repeating pattern
of short material beads (stitch lengths) with uniform spaces (stitch
gaps) between them.
Decision Factors:
• material savings
• pattern requirement
In the stitch level, you can select a percentage of coverage and stitch
bead length for a given duration. Selecting less than
100% coverage
during durations may
still meet your application needs, plus allow you
to save on material costs.
During each duration in a
pattern, a bead of material is deposited.
However, when stitching is selected, this bead is broken up into a
number
of smaller beads (stitch lengths) with uniform spaces (stitch
gaps) between them (Figure 4.4).

NOTE: Stitch is not intended to provide precise bead placement. If you
need precise placement
of small beads, channels can be used in
parallel with stitch off to achieve up to 32 transitions (for 4 channels in
parallel).
