. Current rating: 0. Your rating: not submitted Cutting Optimization Pro is a cutting tool used for getting the optimum cutting layouts. The program also allows you to designate and use complex products, such as table, cupboard, desk, locker, book shelfs. Cutting Optimization Pro can be used for cutting rectangular sheets made of glass, metal, wood, plastic, or any other material used by industrial software. The program can also be used as cutting application for linear parts such as bars, tubes, pipes, steel bars, extrusions, metal profiles, tubes, lineal wood boards, etc and other materials. Features: - 1D or 2D optimization in the same cutting software - you may use the application for both 2D and 1D optimization.
Guillotine optimization - The cuts are achieved from one side to the other of the material. This option is very effective for wood, glass, thermopan. Non-guillotine (nested) optimization - The cutting tool can follow the aspect of the material. In this situation you need to have a complicated machine with laser or flame blade. Multi-stage guillotine - all cuts in a phase are perpendicular to the cuts on the earlier stage. The user may decide the number of stages and the guidance of cuts for the first stage. Any measurement metric- The manner in which you add the information is a general one.
Fs2004 afcad. You don't have to designate a metric. Just select a metric in your mind and add all data using that metric only. Fractional input.
Parts can be added either as 100.5 and 100 1/2. Any number of parts in the INVENTORY or DEMAND - almost no restrictions for the number of parts that you want to optimize.
Bar Cut Optimizer! Optimizes the cutting of linear materials (pipes, tubes, bars, beams, angles, channels, cables, profiles, etc.) and minimizes waste (scrap) and cost. Hi, my name is Pedja and I'm a professional software developer. Some time ago my brother asked me if I could create software for Aluminium profiles cut optimization.
So I did it and he was very satisfied. Suddenly he didn't have to spend hours for manual optimization and since he was working with MS Excel at a time I made it as Excel macro. So, now I have decided to share it with the world for free, hopefully somebody else may take advantage of it.
The only requirement is to have MS Excel, and since it is in the old format old versions will do as well. It may not work with latest versions of MS Excel for Mac. INSTRUCTIONS When you open the optimizer.xls Excel document for the first time you will have to enable editing and macros. Next, you have to set configuration parameters. Default configuration is for European Al profiles and you will have to adjust it to serve your own needs. Here is the meaning of parameters: Bar length The length of standard bar you cut. For example, European Al profiles are distributed in lengths of 6000 mm or 6500 mm.
90° cut waste This is how much you lose for 90° cut. 45° cut waste This is how much you lose for 45° cut. Side waste This is how much you lose on bar ends (this value is just for one side, so don't put sum for both sides). Min reusable length Length of bar residue that you consider usable so it is not treated as waste. This is used only for utilization calculation.
Reserve Additional reserved space just in case. Item lengths Table for entering lengths that you need to cut and optimize. 45° cut Select if your items have to be cut in 45°. 90° cut Select if your items have to be cut in 90°. You have to run optimizer separately for 45° and 90° cut. Program supports all units.
That's the reason why you cannot see any unit in the Excel file. Use any unit you like, just remember to use same unit (mm, inch) for all measures (item lengths, configuration etc.). Result will be in that very same unit too. Always do a manual check after calculation has been performed.
Check if number of input and output number of items is the same and of the same size. CONTACT Have a question, positive or negative feedback or a proposition for improvement?
I would be very happy to hear your opinion so please contact me. DISCLAIMER I cannot take any responsibility for any loss of your goods caused by usage of this program. It is up to you to check if suggested cutting is doable in reality and that program didn't do any wrong calculation. When using this program you accept all responsibility for any damage as a consequence of its usage. Down warlocks vs shadows.

Simon Plumbe, Plumbe Joinery I have been working with the OPTIMIK® program basically since it was created – in fact, it was originally developed for us. Due to the choice of a specific algorithm, the program has already shown very good results in its first version and so, we were very satisfied with it. The program was user-friendly, provided quick calculations and very favourable serviceability of the material, therefore ideal for use in practise.
