P.E.P. TECHNOLOGY©

So what does software really cost? 

 

I would suggest you look closely at the software and consider how the software will drive the machine. 

 

·        If the nesting software your shop is using does not create a finished cutter path automatically you are wasting a lot of engineering time and or machine time.

·        If you’re nesting parts that the engineering department put together manually your company is wasting a lot of material.

·        If the nesting software will automatically or manual allow the user to create a common cut path you need to ask whether the automatic nesting software will nest the parts at the rotation they need to be rotated to maximize common and combine cutting.

·        If the automatic nesting software does not know how to analyze, rotate and align parts in columns to maximize the common and combine cutting, then you may be doing less than 15% of the common cutting that you could be doing.

·        The PEP automatic nesting software will automatically analyze and then nest parts down orienting the parts to the correct spacing resulting in the maximum number of the parts per column that can be nested in the column.  This increases the material yield of the sheet while simultaneously maximizing the amount of common cutting that can be done on a sheet.

·        The P.E.P. software also nests parts to do what we call Combine Cutting, the nesting and cutting of multiple geometry on multiple parts.  To the best of our knowledge, only PEP does this automatically on the fly based upon the sheet size and the location of the part in the nest. 

 

 

We hope that this document will help your company make a software decision that helps your bottom line.  We believe the actual cost of the software must include engineering time, programming time, material waste and the machine time a company spends over the life or ROI for the machine.
