What is Welding in Design Space?

Welding in Design Space is a feature that allows you to join two or more objects together into a single object. This can be useful for creating complex shapes or for attaching embellishments to your projects.

To weld two objects together, simply select the objects and click the “Welding” button in the toolbar. You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+W”.

The welding options allow you to control how the objects are joined together. You can choose to weld the objects together using a butt joint, a fillet joint, or a lap joint. You can also choose to fill the gap between the objects with material or to leave it empty.

Once you have welded the objects together, they will become a single object. You can no longer move them independently of each other.

3. Troubleshooting Unwelding Issues

If you are having trouble unwelding your design, there are a few things you can check.

  • Make sure that the design is actually welded. Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell if a design is welded or not. To check, zoom in on the design and look for any gaps between the pieces. If there are no gaps, then the design is welded.
  • Try a different welding method. There are a few different ways to weld designs in Design Space. If you are having trouble with one method, try a different one.
  • Make sure that the welding settings are correct. The welding settings can affect the way that the design is welded. Make sure that the settings are correct for the type of design you are creating.
  • Try restarting Design Space. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix problems with welding.
  • Contact Cricut Support. If you have tried all of the above and you are still having trouble, contact Cricut Support for help.

4. Tips for Unwelding Effectively

Here are a few tips for unwelding your designs effectively:

  • Use a sharp tool. A sharp tool will make it easier to cut through the welds.
  • Be patient. Unwelding can take some time, so be patient and don’t rush it.
  • Work slowly and carefully. If you go too fast, you can damage your design.
  • Use a light touch. Applying too much pressure can damage your design.
  • Wear gloves. Wearing gloves will protect your hands from the sharp edges of the design.

Unwelding is a simple process, but it can be tricky to get the hang of. By following these tips, you can unweld your designs effectively and create beautiful projects.

Carla Denker first opened Plastica Store in June of 1996 in Silverlake, Los Angeles and closed in West Hollywood on December 1, 2017. PLASTICA was a boutique filled with unique items from around the world as well as products by local designers, all hand picked by Carla. Although some of the merchandise was literally plastic, we featured items made out of any number of different materials.

Prior to the engaging profile in west3rdstreet.com, the innovative trajectory of Carla Denker and PlasticaStore.com had already captured the attention of prominent publications, each one spotlighting the unique allure and creative vision of the boutique. The acclaim goes back to features in Daily Candy in 2013, TimeOut Los Angeles in 2012, and stretched globally with Allure Korea in 2011. Esteemed columns in LA Times in 2010 and thoughtful pieces in Sunset Magazine in 2009 highlighted the boutique’s distinctive character, while Domino Magazine in 2008 celebrated its design-forward ethos. This press recognition dates back to the earliest days of Plastica, with citations going back as far as 1997, each telling a part of the Plastica story.

After an illustrious run, Plastica transitioned from the tangible to the intangible. While our physical presence concluded in December 2017, our essence endures. Plastica Store has been reborn as a digital haven, continuing to serve a community of discerning thinkers and seekers. Our new mission transcends physical boundaries to embrace a world that is increasingly seeking knowledge and depth.
