Product Handling

: Define complex items (e.g., a "Desk") as a set of multiple parts. Cutting Optimization Pro 5

• 2D Rectangular Optimization: For sheets of material (plywood, glass, drywall, metal sheets).
• 1D Linear Optimization: For bars, pipes, tubes, and profiles.
• Cost Optimization: Can calculate the most cost-effective solution, balancing material cost, cutting costs, and waste disposal costs.

Troubleshooting

• Run preliminary cutting simulation to find collisions, heat buildup, and sequencing inefficiencies.
• Validate edge-critical parts with a test-cut before full production.
