Abstract
The invention relates to a method (100) for preparing machine cutting in sheet material, comprising the steps of obtaining (101) a set of geometries to be cut, positioning (102) the set of geometries for cutting, and thereafter deciding (104) on a format of sheet material based on the positioned geometries. The invention further relates to a corresponding system for machine cutting in sheet material, and a corresponding computer program product.
Claims17
A method for preparing machine cutting in sheet material, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a set of geometries to be cut,
- positioning the set of geometries for cutting,
- presenting at least one format of sheet material based on the positioned geometries that would result in low amount of scrap,
- controlling the accessibility of the at least one presented format of sheet material via a central computer that is connected or connectable to one or more providers of sheet formats, and
- deciding on a format of sheet material based on the presented formats and their accessibility.
A system for machine cutting several parts out of a piece of material, comprising a processing unit configured to obtaining a set of geometries to be cut, positioning the set of geometries for cutting, and thereafter deciding on a format of sheet material based on the positioned geometries,
- a cutting device,
- a central computer for controlling the accessibility of formats of sheet for the processing unit to decide between, and
- a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to controlling the cutting device to cut the positioned geometries from the decided format of sheet material.
