Cut 2D X

Cut 2D X is an automation component that can be integrated into your software projects if you want to make calculations to get the optimal cutting or nesting layouts for 2D sheets and parts. This tool works regardless of the material used by industrial applications, whether it's glass, metal, wood or something else.

Made using COM technology, this software utility supports C++ Builder, Visual Basic, Delphi, VC++, .NET, VC#, Excel VBA, and Java. Moreover, it can be used as a standard C++ code if you're interested in cross-platform compilations.

As far as features are concerned, you can take advantage of guillotine cutting optimization, which is practical for wood, glass and other materials, where cuts can be performed from one side to another. Another highlight is represented by non-guillotine nesting optimization, where the cutting machine is capable of following the material's shape. This requires a complex machine, though, based on a flame blade or laser.

Cut 2D X has four independent algorithms related to cutting optimization (three for guillotine cuttings and one for nesting), which are designed to ensure optimization with minimal waste. Pieces can be manually arranged with the mouse if you're not pleased with the output. These are just part of the features provided by this automation component. The downloaded package includes a demo. You can also check out Cutting Optimization Pro, which was made using this component.
