            <p class="para_item">You have unlimited cut pattern choices to ensure the most efficient machining for various regions of the part. If you decide that the predetermined automatic cut patterns are not efficient, you can choose to use Manual Cut Pattern and create your own or select Omit for no cutting.</p>
