TonCut

TonCut is a cutting optimization utility intended to meet the requirements of professionals in this field by generating patterns and layouts that minimize the amount of resulting waste and consequently reduce the overall material costs.

The advantage of TonCut is that it can take into consideration various factors so as to achieve the best result possible. As such, you can create configuration profiles containing settings adapted to the product and the material type (wood, glass, stone, aluminum and so on).

As for the usage, TonCut is really easy to get accustomed with, especially for those who operate in this area. Adding new pieces to the list requires you to specify their length, width and quantity, as well as details regarding ornaments in the material that shouldn't be tampered with.

As mentioned above, there are various parameters that you can experiment with. The application enables you to set a minimal distance between two cuts, allow edge cuts, set a maximum number of combinations to try out, configure the maximum accepted waste size and limit the time allocated to the optimization process of a sheet.

The forking method instructs TonCut to look for more acceptable solutions for the first sheet, while the adaptive optimization can repeat the searching operation with regard to previously obtained results.

TonCut performs the solution search according to your criteria and returns statistical data concerning the sheet and the optimization process, such as the number of cuts and the length of cuts, the amount of obtained waste and unused material. You can save the results and data regarding unused pieces for later usage in various formats, as well as print a summary of the report.

With the help of TonCut you can generate cutting layouts that bring your costs to the minimum. Thanks to the wide variety of criteria you can configure, its search precision is high. The application is particularly useful for production environment, but it can also be used by more daring users who want to build furniture or other things at home.
