Overview
Optimizer for Anyshape is the most powerful Profile Nesting Software for getting optimal nesting layouts with minimal waste. Optimizer for Anyshape is designed to automatically place rectangular or non-rectangular shapes in an optimal pattern.
It is suitable for cutting via a variety of processes, primarily Gas, Plasma, Oxy-fuel, Laser cutting. The nesting algorithm is designed to optimize both the material usage and the sequence of cutting.
Optimizer for Anyshape automatically optimize the placement of parts / profiles, on rectangular or non-rectangular sheets / plates of any material, including sheet metal, fabrics, leather, wood, etc.
Optimizer for Anyshape is a fully automatic True Random Shape Nesting Package, implying that it takes into consideration actual shape geometry, rather than treating each shape as rectangular block and laying them side-by-side.
Above video is of an older version. For the latest version, please download demo copy.
Advantages
- Efficiently generates nested layouts that help to significantly reduce the amount of material wastage.
- Substantial time and error reduction in cutting layout preparation.
- Generates detailed reports which help in accurate job estimation.
Features
- Easy-to-use program with user-friendly interface.
- Supports nesting on different varieties of rectangular or non-rectangular Sheets / Plates which can have cavities and notches within them.
- Provides three different nesting options to suit individual needs :
- Stack Nesting.
- Continuous Stack Nesting.
- Free Nesting.
- Generates Layouts showing variable shapes nested within cavities.
- OPTIMIZER for Anyshape decides the best rotation angle for Parts to minimize sheet wastage for better yield. Rotation can also be restricted for Parts that require a specific grain direction.
- Facility to set Priority for sheets as well as parts as per your requirement for optimization.
- Unused portion of sheets / plates can be saved and reused in subsequent optimizations.
- Various Shapes / Profiles can be created using Shape Editor. Shapes created in AutoCAD and saved in .DXF (AutoCAD R12 / LT2 DXF) format can also be opened in OPTIMIZER for Anyshape software.
- Provides Layout Editor for manual modification of nested Layouts as per individual needs.
- Parts can be rotated clock-wise or anti-clockwise direction in Layout Editor.
- Generates detailed Report of each optimization done.
- Density Table is provided to store densities of different materials used for calculation of weight of the Sheets / Plates and Parts.
