Layout and cutting problems are important in many industries, as they involve the
optimal use of raw material. Problems of optimal arrangement of 2D pieces to be
cut from an initial piece of stock material are called nesting problems. This problem
finds wide application in the textile manufacturing, leather cutting, and glass
industries, where material is costly and scrap must be minimized. The 2
dimensional cutting stock problem is a classic combinatorial optimization problem
in which a number of parts of various dimensions must be cut from a 2
dimensional material. Computational results are provided that increase the ability
of the algorithm based approach to decrease the amount of scrap generated in the
production process.
Application Program Optimize Cutting Software is designed for
optimization of
2D materials and can be used in wood, metal,
glass, and plastic industries.
The program is written in asp.net language
which allows considerable quality
increasing and shortens time for
nesting plans preparation. Automatic cutting is
carried out taking into consideration
technological and organizational parameters
of production.
Variable parameter allows setting the glass offcut value - the space
between the x-line and the z-line.
The calculation software consists of determining
where to position
the glass parts. The program places the parts in a
top-down,
left-to-right manner and by using recursion searches
to find the optimal layout.
This software is especially created for getting perfect layouts
in glass industries.
AP-OCS works
just fine with or without automated cutting equipment.
It is a
handy tool for glass cutters. The online software is
based on high-speed algorithm
that
enables getting perfect layout with minimal waste.
This web site offers a
tool for solving the problem of optimal cutting of
glass sheets into rectangular
parts. It can be used for optimizing the
cutting performed by the guillotine method.
The
program algorithms ensure the
lowest glass waste and reduction of time for
designing of cutting plans.
Due to its sophisticated, recursive algorithm, AP-OCS finds the optimal
cutting plan
with the best yield of glass and it consistently
delivers the best cutting area.
Using AP-OCS the costs of cutting can be sensible reduced. First the user can save
time as he can obtain the optimal yield
in one minute. As a second benefit he will
have the best cutting plan
with less waste of unused glass and best of all, the
program is easy to learn.
AP-OCS software is used to generate optimal layouts and reduced scrap for
glass cutting processes. The nesting technology is based on algorithms designed
to optimize area utilization. AP-OCS provides one of the easiest way to reduce
the scrap generated by any 2d cutting process. Once you define the cutting job,
this nesting software require just a mouse click to calculate all the parts on the
sheet. It's a software to maximize the utilization of 2d material by generating
the most optimal nested layouts. It help in cutting down waste in stocks, time, and
labor. It determines the number of sheets to order in advance. It shows whether
a different sheet size will save you money. 2d nesting optimizer may be used to
optimize any rectangular area, as well as be applied to any other 2d panel cutting
or area optimization problem. AP-OCS minimize area waste by a factor of 2.
Program run time is about 5 to 50 seconds depending on the number of parts.
This program define 3 types of cutting lines
* X-line along the Y-axis
* Y-line along the X-axis
* Z-line along the Y-axis
The distance between the X-line and the Z-line is the offcut value.
It must be zero or greater then offcut value.

Data for optimization can be imported from Excel csv file format.
Every layout created can be exported to the Excel csv file format,
which is a commonly used interchange format between popular
software packages.
To view the total number of sheets you must login as registered user,
or become one. If you are a non registered user you can view
75% of the sheets.
