What does software really cost?

 

AUTOMATIC  -  COMMON & COMBINE CUTTING

P.E.P.s Automatic Nesting software analyzes the external geometry of parts and AUTOMATICALLY rotates parts aligning the common geometry to maximize the common cutting opportunities.

 

The combining of two passes into a single slice between parts will save 12.5% to 40.9%  of the total cutting distance.  The wide range of savings (12.5% to 40.9% ) is explained in this document.

 

RECTANGULAR AND SQUARE PARTS

 

From this …                                                                      To this...AUTOMATICALLY!

                                                                                                                             

                 

 ODD SHAPED PARTS with geometries at angles other than 0 & 90 plus notches.

The nest below is an example of a part that was nested with the “Combine Cut” logic for the airbag industry.  The part in the nest has been automatically nested and interlocked with itself in columns and rows at 0 and 180 degrees.  The enlarged views show the common geometries before and after combine cutting.
