Optimalon Software has released a new two-dimensionalrectangular optimization library GNCutter32. The main purpose of the library is woodpanels cutting optimization, which is widely  used in the furniture manufacturing,at the constructions and the carpenter workshops. The objective of the optimization is to find such cutting layout that produces lessmaterial waste and requires less time to cut the panels. The woodcutting in contrastto the glass cutting is more tolerate for waste because wood is cheaper than theglass, but woodcutting requires much simpler layouts, which should be suitable forthe wide range of the existing cutting machines. Therefore the woodcuttingoptimization is about minimization both waste and working time and the libraryGNCutter32 provides all necessary tools to accomplish it.
GNCutter32 is a Windows  based library written on C# for Microsoft .NET Framework.It can be easily integrated into existing CAM/CAD software for PC or embeddeddirectly to the cutting machines powered by Windows operating systems (Windows XP,Windows CE or Windows Mobile).
GNCutter32 uses a new high  performance optimization algorithm that is capable tofind the cutting layouts for several hundred of pieces in less than a second.
The library provides several features, which are specific for the wood panel cuttingonly; one of them is minimization of different layouts. The layout minimizationallows cutting the several panels at once by placing the panels into a pile one onthe top of another. This approach dramatically reduces the operating time andsignificantly improves the productivity.
The main features of GNCutter32 are: Supports five cutting types: Simple XY, Two-stage XY, XYZ, XYZW and StandardGuillotine. Horizontal, Vertical and Automatic-detected cutting directions. Supports pre-cuts for higher material utilization. Multiple sizes of the stock sheets. Minimization of the cutting layouts to reduce operating time. Support of non-zero saw thickness and the part gaps. Generates list of remaining parts (cut-offs). Supports maximum cut length for the cutting machines. Sheets trimming. Parts rotation by 90 degrees. Unlimited parts and sheets number. Simple programming interface.
GNCutter32 is available on try-before-buy basis that means anyone can download itfor free and test it for 30-days trial period. More information about the library is available at Optimalon Software website: http://www.optimalon.com/wood cut_main.htm
