Silhouette Studio v4 - Tracing and Offset Tools for Creating Cookie Cutters

Learn how to use the Trace and Offset tools in Silhouette Studio v4 to create your 2D design for making 3D printed cookie cutters. This video was originally created and shared in a FB group centered around making 3D printed cookie cutters.

NOTE - It is recommended to create your cut edge offsets in multiples of your nozzle size. For example, your nozzle is 0.4mm. Create the offsets in multiples of that size. Such as 0.8, 1.2 etc. If your cut edge is created with a 1.0mm offset you will most likely have a gap between the walls of the cutting edge and dough will get stuck in that space.

Topics covered include:

**Dragging a file onto your work space
**Using the Trace tool - where to find it and how to use
**Editing the traced design to clean up the edit points
**Changing Units of Measurement from inches to mm using Preferences
**Sizing your cutters proportionally using the Scale tool on the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)
**Using the Offset tool to create your cut edge and handle of your 2D design
**Making the design a compound path
**Saving the design as an SVG to later import into a CAD program like Fusion360, 123D Design etc to make a 3D model

If you are interested in using Tinkercad to create your 3D model, watch this video for that process as the saving steps are slightly different. https://youtu.be/Q4AI8tkVYMU
