Program for cutting circles of steel. Copying parts close to each other. Customization for specific CNC equipment
Cutting - a program for cutting sheet materials: chipboard, glass, etc. The chipboard cutting program allows you to reduce and optimize material consumption, it keeps track of waste, including "business" waste, which is not taken into account when calculating the cost of an order. The utility can be used at enterprises engaged in the mass production of cabinet furniture; for this, the concept of an order has been introduced into its functionality. All completed orders are automatically entered into the database of orders, subsequently it is possible to repeat or change them. You can download it for free on this website.
To start working with the utility, you need to set the dimensions of the sheet and the parts that will be cut from it. Further, the program will independently select the best cutting option with the least amount of waste. If necessary, you can use the database of materials available in the program, which contains the standard sizes of sheets or rolls. In this case, it is enough to specify the material for cutting, and the utility will automatically calculate according to the standard parameters of the sheet.
The cutting program works according to two main algorithms for optimizing chipboard consumption - reducing the total waste and increasing continuous trimming. Reducing overall waste means cutting with a minimum number of scraps. The continuous cut increase mode, in addition to reducing waste, is used to create a maximum cut, which can then be used for another order. You can also save material costs by combining two orders if they use the same material.
The main advantages of the Nesting utility
- Two cutting optimization algorithms.
- Database of standard sheet sizes.
- Work with two types of edges.
- Works with both sheets and rolls.
- Database of executed orders.
During cutting, all cuts are made from one edge of the sheet to the other - either horizontally or vertically. The material consumed for sawing and other technological operations is taken into account when calculating the cutting. The utility allows you to work with two types of edges. The program allows you to optimize the consumption of not only sheets, but also rolls. If necessary, it is possible to use Nesting in network mode.
Sheet metal cutting software FieryCutincludes the full range of functions of sheet cutting technology on any CNC cutting equipment. Automatic optimal cutting of metal reduces the cost of raw materials and greatly increases the productivity of the technologist. The program comes with a post-processor for any CNC cutting equipment. Thus, you can connect the equipment, even in the absence of experienced specialists. We also implement additional requirements specific to a given organization or equipment.
The user creates only the contours of the parts. Togeometry control, economical cutting of metal sheets andthe formation of control programs for CNC machines is performed automatically using FieryCut.
The FieryCut CAD/CAM system consists of three modules:
- Creation of part geometry;
- Cutting the sheet (optimal placement of the contours of parts on the sheet);
- Control program generation.
Part geometry
FieryCut, unlike other similar applications, includes geometry control, which speeds up the search for errors. Using the Part Geometry module, the user creates contours details ( blanks) based on the geometry created in AutiCAD, including segments, polylines, arcs and circles.- Automatic creation of workpiece contours from segments, arcs, circles and polylines;
- Support for unlimited nesting of contours;
- Support for open paths and text;
- Automatic control of geometry in the process of creating contours, facilitating the correction of errors;
- Calculation of the surface area and mass of workpieces;
- Import of geometry in DWG/DXF format;
- Saving contour information in a DWG file.
Sheet cutting
FieryCut realizes automatic sheet metal nesting with high material utilization (CMM).The work begins with the formation of a task in which the user specifies the dimensions of the sheets or calls the DWG file of arbitrary business waste, and also generates a list of parts.
O The main functions of the "Sheet cutting" module:
- Automatic placement of parts on sheets of any shape with a given distance between the contours;
- Placing Parts Inside Holes and Slots of Other Parts, If Option Purchased"Figure cutting" (see figure on the right);
- Placement priority accounting;
- Accounting for permission to turn, including setting the allowable angle of turn;
- Editing the placement of parts (transfer, rotation, addition, removal);
- Formation of a report on the placed parts and KIM for each sheet.

Cutting chart - is a documentation that displays which parts need to be cut from a chipboard sheet. But, in fact, it is possible not only to cut chipboard, but also any sheet material.
With the help of nesting, you can see how you can lay out the parts on the sheet. The map also contains information about the remains that will be as a result of cutting.
In the end, the advantage of cutting is to display the amount of material that will be required to create furniture.
You can also cut chipboard in the company where you will buy materials, but our task is to create cabinet furniture at home with minimization of costs, and it will not be difficult to make it yourself, even for a beginner.
To create a map, we will use the Cutting 2 program (cutting). You can download it for free at the end of the lesson.
The program interface looks like this:
In the "Materials" field, you must specify the parameters of the chipboard sheet, or, if you have leftovers that you plan to cut, then the size of the leftovers. As for the chipboard size, I use sheets from the manufacturer Swisspan, whose dimensions are 2750 * 1830 mm (for large sheets) and 2440 * 1830 mm (for small ones).
Also note that in the settings of the chipboard sheet, it is necessary to set the values \u200b\u200bof “Sheet sawing”, since the sheets initially have chips.
If you plan to glue the PVC edge, or if you want to calculate how much paper edge is required for gluing, then you can also set it in the "Properties".
For convenience, it is possible to choose the color of the edge. This feature will facilitate the work when using more than 1 type of edge. For example: 2mm and 0.6mm or use multiple colors.
After setting up all the details, press the "Cut" button or F9.
We see that the cutting turned out unsuccessfully. To solve the problem, you can try to cut it again or shift the parts yourself. By clicking on the part and dragging it to the right place. There is also an option to expand everything by dragging it into the details in “not placed” and put it on your own as needed.
Important! When drawing up the cutting yourself, make sure that there is a place for cutting, as everything can be done “optimally” with a serpentine cutting line. After that, no one wants to cut them.
Optimization of the cutting of various sheet materials is carried out in special programs, which helps to do everything right and save a lot of time on this task. We have compiled a small list in which we have selected for you several representatives of such software.
"Master 2" provides users with great opportunities not only in drawing up a cutting project, but also in doing business. Multi-user mode is supported, sorting and systematization of the entered information is present, data on materials and contractors are saved.
The implementation of the warehouse will help to always be aware of the remaining amount of materials. There is a distribution into tables where active orders, planned and archive are located, all information is available to the administrator for viewing and editing. "Master 2" has several assemblies, one of them is distributed free of charge and is available for download on the official website.
Cutting 3
This representative with a huge selection of materials and parts is more suitable for individual use. The cutting is well optimized, the user only needs to enter the required dimensions, select materials and specify additional settings, if necessary.
Cutting 3 gives users the ability to use files from other programs, such as loading parts from . In addition, visual design is supported.
Astra Cutting
"Astra Cutting" simplifies the cutting process as much as possible. All you have to do is load the parts, specify their dimensions and wait for the nesting plan to be processed. Third-party and official libraries of furniture and other objects are supported that are suitable for harvesting in this way.
We recommend that you pay attention to the presence of built-in documentation. It is systematized and formed in the course of work on the project. Just go to the appropriate tab when you need it and print any of the prepared documents.
There are many programs on the Internet that perform the same actions as the representatives of our article, but they all copy each other. We have tried to select the most suitable and high-quality software.
When forming an order for cutting, you can enter the details manually or import data from another program.An essential feature of setting the initial data is the use of an alphanumeric part number and the name of the part in the product, which corresponds to its actual representation in the design documentation.
Library of standard products
The program allows you to describe a library of typical products and use them in the future when forming orders for cutting. You can reduce the time for entering the initial data for cutting by dozens of times - a few commands and the order is ready for cutting.Edge bonding of parts
For parts, you can specify the glued edges. At the same time, an arbitrary number of grades of material for pasting edges is supported. The information entered is used to calculate the quantity and cost of the material per order.When cutting glass or metal, this function is no less useful! In the same way, you can take into account the grinding of the edges of parts for glass or cutting edges for welding for metal.
Optimal cutting
Automatic cutting of the material is carried out taking into account the technological and organizational parameters of production. The parameters allow you to set: cutting width, trimming the edge of the sheet, accounting for through cuts, cutting type, minimum distance between saws, etc.A unique set of customizable parameters is a distinctive feature of the Astra Nesting program.
When manually editing maps, a number of functions for fast and accurate nesting adjustment are provided: placing a group of parts by the cutting width, aligning to a common base, shifting to the stop, etc. This supports the cancellation of operations performed, which allows you to restore the previous state of the nesting map, and scaling document windows.
