He hit again.

When ESPRIT calculates a toolpath, it tries to "slice" the 3D model into layers (waterlines). If the geometry has a tiny gap, a self-intersecting surface, or a microscopic hole where two faces didn't quite meet, the "slicer" hits a dead end. It tries to drive the tool over an edge that, mathematically, leads into a void. The "crack" is the gap in the digital armor of the CAD model. esprit edge crack
