Glowforge native resolution - metric or imperial?

Yes you right! So many variables though that makes the accuracy.

Fundamentally it’s a digital machine but the last steps are very analog, you’re dealing with a laser burning through organic material. There are simply physical limits to how accurate and precise you can be when you’re doing that.

Well said! In the past I’ve tried to explain that every material has a max useable resolution, beyond which is wishful thinking, but I think this is a better way of saying it.

Kind of like Google Maps reporting lat/lon down to the subatomic scale. GPS simply isn’t that accurate.
