Cut 2D X - rectangular nesting library

Provides Optimization for Your Software !

- dll solution for DEVELOPERS ONLY -

 

Cut 2D X / Optimization 2D X version 3.7.2.4

Cut 2D X is an Automation component - within a dll - used for obtaining optimal cutting or nesting layouts for two dimensional sheets and parts.

Cut 2D X can be used for cutting and nesting rectangular sheets made of glass, wood, metal, or any other material used by industrial applications.

Cut 2D X is based on COM technology and can be used  within any programming enviroment such as Delphi, C++Builder, Visual Basic, VB .NET, VC++ .NET, VC#, Excel VBA, Java etc. It is also available as a standard C++ code for cross-platform compilation.

Features

bulletGuillotine cutting optimization - The cuts are performed from one side to the other of the material. This feature is very useful for glass, wood, termopan, ...
bulletNon-guillotine nesting optimization - The cutting machine can follow the shape of the material. In this case you need to have a complex machine based on laser or flame blade.
bullet NEW Multi-Stage cutting optimization - The optimization is done in multiple stages. In each stage all cuts have the same direction (First cut direction is decided by you). This is useful when you have many sheets to cut and you are interested in obtaining faster cutting results. This optimisation is useful when it is hard for you to rotate the sheet.
bulletFour independent cutting optimization algorithms - There are 3 optimization algorithms for guillotine cuttings and 1 for nesting. Combining these algorithms you will have a good optimization with a minimal waste generation.
bullet NEW Manual arrange of pieces after cutting optimisation - If you are not satisfied with the current result you can modify them manually. Cut 2D X offers you a complete set of functions which helps you to arrange the layouts with the mouse.
bulletIndependent measurement metric - The way in which you introduce the data is a general one. You don't have to specify a metric. Just choose a metric in your mind and enter all data using that metric only.
bulletHandles faulty materials - holes can be specified for stock pieces. Holes will be avoided when placing parts.
bulletTrim margins - useful for handling faulty sheets whose margin must be trimmed.
bulletAdjustable cutting blade thickness - For glass cutting with diamond the cutting blade width is 0, but for wood, metal handling you need a saw blade with a greater width.
bulletAdjustable cutting length - One may specify the maximum length that is permitted for a cut. This feature is useful for glass industry where too long cuttings can break the glass. Also, if you cut manually you cannot reach any position on the cutting table, thus you have to perform shorter cuttings at the beginning of the process.
bulletAdjustable optimization level - One may specify how many layouts to be generated before the solution is outputted. If you don't have too much time and you don't have a good computer you may set the Optimization Level to a low level. This feature helps you to run your program on any kind of computer (from 486 to the best processors available today)
bulletAdjustable breakage width - useful for cutting materials by breaking them - e.g. glass.
bulletAny size less than 2 billion units - the size of the pieces is limited by the size of the data types introduced by the C++ language.
bulletFeatures for optimizing materials with fibre - such as wood or PAL. You may specify if a piece can be rotated or not. This will help to cut along or perpendicular to the material fibre.
bulletStatistics related to the current optimization - At the end of the optimisation process you will have access to the many statistics about nesting: number of cuts, cut's definition (starting and ending point), number of waste rectangles, the waste rectangles (the coordinates of the top-left and bottom-right corners), number of utilized pieces, the placement of the utilized pieces, used surface, ...
bulletCan be embedded within any language that supports COM Automation and dynamic link library (dll) - Visual Basic (VB), Delphi, C++Builder, VC++, C#, Excel VBA, Java etc
bulletCross-platform availability - Can be integrated in C++ projects developed for many operating systems: Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac etc.
bulletVery fast algorithms - Solutions are obtained within seconds. This small running time is due to the state of art Artificial Intelligence optimization algorithms.
bulletFull featured examples of utilization - The Cut 2D X package contains examples for Borland C++Builder, Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visual Basic 6 and 2005 .NET, Visual C++ 2005 .NET, Excel 2003 VBA and Java.
bulletAlready used in award winning products - Check our product Cutting Optimization Pro which uses this component. Check our partners page where you will find some of the companies which are already using our components for developing their optimisation products.
bulletMultiple options for buying the component - You may purchase the component for one computer only or for infinite number of computers. The range of prices is for every pocket.
