Shaper Tools ShaperTape for Origin Handheld CNC Router

Origin uses ShaperTape fiducial markers to digitally augment your Workspace and accurately track position while you are working.

ShaperTape’s uniquely encoded patterns are printed using specialized production equipment designed to ensure extremely high dimensional accuracy which results in optimum tool performance. ShaperTape is also specifically engineered to be easy to apply and remove, with carefully selected adhesives that won’t leave residue on your material.

Each roll of ShaperTape is 150-feet (45.7m) in length. The amount of tape required for a given project depends on the scale of the project you're working on. For reference, 150-feet provides ample coverage for approximately one and a half standard 4'x 8' (1.2 x 2.4m) sheets of plywood.

Shaper recommends applying parallel rows of tape at approximately 3in (76mm) intervals until you have covered the area you wish to work within.

ShaperTape is designed to be cut while you use Origin. Bear in mind that when you cut through a fiducial marker, it can no longer be seen by Origin. If you cut through too many markers Origin, will be unable to track its location in your workspace. You can always apply more ShaperTape to your material and use Origin’s “Add to scan” feature to capture newly applied ShaperTape as you work.

Who are Shaper Tools?
