Nico,

 

Looking at the screenshot I am (almost) certain that the isssue can be solved at the source, through avoidance of the inaccuracy that causes it, strangely occurring at irregular intervals.

 

May I ask how you have created the pattern structure?

Can you share a sample Illustrator file for inspection?

 

Include further instructions to clarify what you want to achieve.

Of course sorry,
This is typiclly the file i need to clean...
In trace mode, you can see the overlapping when the line is more black and can imagine manually is not possible easily.

I need only on line without overlap beceause my laser work 2 times on the same line and destroy the material.

 

Many thanks in advance,

Nico

Thanks for the screenshot, but it would be better if you can provide a sample Illustrator file for inspection.
