With OPCutting, you can perform various cut optimization calculations: sheet metal cuts, bar cuts, panel cuts, fabric cuts, etc.
You can choose the cutting direction of the parts: horizontal, vertical or indifferent (the software will automatically determine the optimal part placement).

You can also set the cutting thickness (blade, laser, waterjet or plasma thickness) and create cutting lists featuring several sheet sizes and types.

The results include :

Drawings of each part (with its dimensions) from the cutting plan.

Cutting optimization summary giving : Linear length of cuts, surface area used, percentage of off-cuts per plate and total, as well as the dimensions of each plate.

All elements produced after the cutting calculation can be printed out for use in the workshop (see Printing a cutting diagram section in user guide for details), or for use when drawing up quotations or invoices. The cutting list can also bes exported in text or Excel format, along with all cutting plan data for re-use in quotation/invoicing applications.

OPCutting has an integrated database for managing formats, material types and component designations for structures requiring cutting optimization.
