GNCutter32 enhances wood design software with cutting plans generation

March 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Wood design software is often missing important functionality: generating cutting plans for panels or boards. Hence the users have to decide by themselves how much material to purchase and how to cut it. The cutting optimization library, GNCutter32, from Optimalon Software solves this problem with painless integration into any new or existing wood design software via simple API.

Despite its complexity, the cutting optimization is a highly desirable for any woodworking software. Denis Smirnov from Optimalon Software explains: “Getting furniture plans is the base functionality of any wood design software. However the step from a plan to actual furniture requires ordering and cutting wood panels or boards. Without a cutting plan the user could spend much more material than would be necessary”.

GNCutter32 has been developed for wood-cutting purposes and includes specific features like grain control, edge trimming, saw kerf, five cutting complexity levels and layout minimization. The last feature allows the user to stack several panels or boards and cut them at once.

Smirnov continues: “GNCutter32 has been intensively used by our clients in stand-alone applications, web-servers and even in cutting machines software. It comes with working examples in several programming languages and detailed documentation. If you develop wood design software and would like to expand its functionality with cutting plan generation, why not give GNCutter32 a try?”
