Cutting Planner is used in a wide variety of situations, from small workshops to well-known companies.
How to Upgrade
To upgrade from the 32-bit version, uninstall the previous version and install the new version. You will then need to reinstall your license key. Otherwise, an overwrite installation is possible.
Cutting optimization for both sheet and liner in one solution
Layouts can be calculated to efficiently cut not only plates, but also bars, pipes, tubes, and other long materials. While other companies usually offer separate products, Cutting Planner is compatible with both.
What is Cutting Planner?
CuttingPlanner is software that arranges multiple parts to be cut from acrylic plates, plywood, aluminum plates, steel plates, and other base plates using panel saws, running saws, shearing, and other methods. It is used in furniture manufacturing, steel plate andsheet metal processing, and a wide range of other fields.
Simply by inputting the base plate and material sizes, the software proposes a highly efficient cutting plan.
Calculation results can be viewed on a PC screen as a cutting layout diagram, which can be printed out for use as a drawing. It can also be used for estimation.
Achieve quick quotes, efficient material ordering, and cutting instructions that do not rely on craftsmen
With Cutting Planner, you don't need a craftsman to create a cutting plan. Work can begin immediately, eliminating the time it takes to think about the layout.
Multi-core processor support maximizes PC performance.
It is not only materials and time that can be saved. There are synergistic cost savings.
Let's invest in intangibles.
- Automatic calculation and input/output using command line options. There is an example of linking with an inventory control system.
- Adopted xml format for proprietary data format. Its specifications are available to the public. We can develop our own software to utilize the output cutting layout diagram.
- Input/output in CSV format.
- Copy and paste with spreadsheets such as Excel.
- Virtually unlimited number and type of source and part panels that can be calculated (memory dependent).
- Automatic allocation of parts for efficiency when multiple sizes of source panels are set.
- Individual setting of whether parts can be rotated or not.
- Allocation of parts considering the maximum cutting length of the cutting machine and the size of the clams.
- Cutting aid lines that make it easy to know where to start cutting.
- Intuitive user interface.
- Offline operation is possible after purchase.
- Purchase once and use forever, indefinite license.
- Free version upgrades and zero maintenance costs. The sooner you start using it, the more profitable it will be.
- Can be installed on 10 PCs. (Must be within the same organization or individual)
We do not simply search for ways to pack as many boards as possible. Outputs a diagram that reduces the number of work processes within the same yield range (number of original boards used).
- 1D: Can choose between prioritizing the number of processes (number of diagrams) and the length of remaining material.
- 2D: Multiple candidate enumeration function similar to 1D.
