Panels and Profiles Cutting Optimization Software

OptiCut_1
OptiCut is a panels and profiles cutting optimization software, based on a powerful multimode, multiformat, and multimaterial algorithm.
–    OptiCut features grain direction, trim cuts, plated edges and pre-cuts, stocks and reusable falls, panels turnaround, and parametric labels.

OptiCut’s import and export functions are compatible with all major spreadsheets (MicroSoft Excel, etc …), and with most cabinet design softwares (PolyBoard, TopWood, Obvie, KitchenDraw, etc …).
– OptiCut’s universal Post_Processor is compatible with most CNC saws.
– OptiCut is available in a multilingual version, and is used in over 30 countries.

Main features

Multimode Algorithm:
OptiCut is based on a powerful and parametric algorithm, with 6 predefined optimization modes (Fast, Standard 1 & 2, Advanced 1 & 2, and CNC optimized).
Only Advanced 1 and Advanced 2 modes enable panels turnaround.

OptiCut_3

Multi-Format and Multi-Material optimization:
OptiCut optimizes mixed materials cutting lists.
For each material, OptiCut takes into account all available panels formats.

Plated Edges and Pre-Cuts:
OptiCut identifies plated edges and their thicknesses, and displays either net (cutting) or finished (plated) dimensions. The edge fields may also be used to optimize pre-cuts.

OptiCut_4

Stocks and reusable falls follow-up:
OptiCut’s stock may be up-dated after each optimization. Falls above minimal dimensions are considered as reusable, and will be added to the stock with a depreciation factor.

Technical and financial Summary:
After each optimization, and as a complement to the cutting maps, OptiCut prints a global summary including :
– technical data, such as quantities, linears, and rates,
– optimization financial costs.

OptiCut_6

Profiles cutting optimization:
OptiCut optimizes also profiles cutting lists, using the same parameters as for panels.
OptiCut prints profiles cutting maps, as well as gobal summaries, and labels.

OptiCut_7

Panels turnaround:
The OptiCut turnaround function enables main cutting direction changes (horizontal or vertical) within the same cutting map.
Theses changes, which increase panel handling, also improve falls quality, and sometimes allow panels savings.

OptiCut_8

Post Processor and CNC Controls:
The OptiCut integrated Post_Processor function translates cutting maps into the main CNC saws languages and formats.

 

OptiCut_9

 

Examples of optimisation results, both for panels and bars.
