Optimisers are the heart of the optimising program and produce efficient cuttings patterns for a wide range of part lists. There are different optimisers for different types of part list.

Rectangular Nesting

Shaped Nesting

Shaped Nesting II

 

Rectangular Nesting

 

For rectangular nesting - each part is placed on a pattern within a rectangular area.

 

Shaped Nesting & Shaped Nesting II

 

For shaped nesting - parts can overlap the rectangular area around each part and be placed at an angle to each other

 

 

Notes

 

- For these optimiser types the patterns are generated for transfer to a Machining centre.

 

- Multiple cores/processors are not used when optimising multiple run batches with MPR(X) format parts because MPR(X) files cannot be processed simultaneously in this way.
