Corte

From World PC & Services:

Corte gives a highly optimized computer solution to the problem of minimizing waste material when cutting rectangular sheets and longitudinal bars. The Corte's calculation engine, which is designed to find non-approximate but true-optimal solutions, uses classical optimization techniques, like linear programming and dynamic programming, together with a powerful completing heuristic and a sophisticated cutting variants generation algorithm. Most likely, Corte will find an optimum solution for the given task, and when it won't, a nearly-optimum solution is guaranteed. The program can be used when cutting different kind of materials: metal, glass, plastic, wood in different practical environments.
Easy and friendly interface. Full automatic calculation of the optimum cutting patterns. Background calculations with options to automatically save results and shut-down the system. Combination of different material types (sizes), each of them having either limited or unlimited availability. Technological options that condition the parts layout in the generated patterns to fulfill technological requirements. Configurable measurement units with wide support for Metric and English systems. Configurable label formats. No limit for the amount of different part types. No limit for the amount of different material types. Up to three levels of optimization to set up an agreement between optimization quality and calculation time. Full manual edition of the calculated solution. It includes: definition, modification and elimination of cutting patterns, addition of new parts and materials, change in the order and location of the cuts, elimination of redundant cuts, and so on. Several printed reports containing all the necessary information for documenting and realizing in practice the cutting plans as well as the scaled graphics and zoomed details of the cutting patterns. Excel data import and export. -AutoCAD drawing export.
