Cutting Optimization Pro can be used for cutting rectangular sheets made of glass, wood, metal, plastic, or any other material used by industrial applications.
Cutting Optimization Pro can also be used as cutting software for linear pieces such as bars, pipes, tubes, steel bars, metal profiles, extrusions, tubes, lineal wood boards, etc and other materials.

Features:
1D and 2D optimization in the same cutting program - you may use the program for both 2D and 1D optimization.
Guillotine optimization - The cuts are performed from one side to the other of the material. This feature is very useful for glass, wood, thermoglass, ...
Non-guillotine (nested) optimization - The cutting machine can follow the shape of the material. In this case you need to have a complex machine based on laser or flame blade.
Multi-stage guillotine - all cuts in a stage are perpendicular to the cuts on the previous stage. The user may specify the number of stages and the direction of cuts for the first stage.
Any number of pieces in the INVENTORY and DEMAND - virtually no limit for the number of pieces that you want to optimize.
Any measurement metric- The way in which you introduce the data is a general one. You don't have to specify a metric. Just choose a metric in your mind and enter all data using that metric only.
Fractional input. Pieces can be introduced either as 100.5 or 100 1/2. More info about fractional input can be read here.
Adjustable cutting blade thickness- For glass cutting with diamond the cutting blade thickness is 0, but for wood, metal handling you need a saw with a greater thickness.
Adjustable optimization level- One may specify how many layouts to be generated before the solution is outputted. If you don't have too much time and you don't have a good computer you may set the Optimization Level to a low level. This feature helps you to run your program on any kind of computer (from 486 to the best processors available today).
Maximal cut length limit - You may specify how long a cut can be. This is useful when you perform the cuttings manually.
Adjustable useful waste - all wastes smaller than this size are garbage (will not be added to repository).
Adjustable limit for breakable parts - No waste will have a size lower than this parameter and no 2 parallel cuts will be closer than this. It is used in order to avoid the breaking of too small material. Useful in glass industry.
Reduces panel waste and costs - using the latest achievements in the field of Artificial Intelligence to reduce the waste.
Grain direction control - useful for wood cutting optimisation. A parameter let the user to specify if the piece can be rotated or it should be kept fixed.
Automatic offcuts handling - the useful waste is automatically added to the Inventory of materials.
Vertical printing of the labels and edge bands - this will optimise and simplify your layout.
Graphical display black-white or colourful images and text mode of the obtained results - the results are displayed as images (black and white or colourful) or as text-tables.
Save images automatically - all the obtained 2D sheets can be saved as jpeg images with 1 click. The programs automatically appends a number to an image.
