The core logic of Smart2DCutting addresses the Two-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem (2D-BPP) and the Two-Dimensional Strip Packing Problem (2D-SPP). The system is designed to handle:
: Starts at $150 USD for 100 parts, up to $510 USD for Unlimited parts.
Improved label printing with options to export labels to CSV and a "Start Label" feature to avoid wasting partial label sheets.
The heart of the is its proprietary NP-Nest (Non-Polygon Nesting) engine. Previous versions struggled with "bridging"—the art of leaving enough material between parts for blade kerf while still packing them tightly. smart2dcutting 35 full new
Reusable offcuts are automatically stored in a stock management system, ensuring that leftover material from one project is prioritized for the next. Grain Direction Control:
: Smart2DCutting supports network connections, allowing multiple workstations to access a central database stored on a common network drive.
The "New" aspect of this software shines in logistics. After nesting, the system generates a detailed PDF report including: The heart of the is its proprietary NP-Nest

Layouts can be exported to DXF, TXT, or XML formats, making it compatible with various CNC software for seamless production. Label Printing:
: Users can specify distinct edge banding thicknesses for individual parts and apply custom trims or margins to raw sheets to account for rough edges. and historical job data.
For larger facilities with multiple estimators or saw operators, Smart2DCutting supports concurrent multi-user network connections. By routing the app's central database to a shared network directory, every workstation gains real-time access to the exact same stock levels, client files, and historical job data. Industry Applications
Before sending G-code to your CNC router, plasma table, or waterjet, V35 simulates the motion of both cutting heads simultaneously. If Head A is slated to move through an area where Head B is actively cutting, the software dynamically reroutes the toolpath or resequences the nesting order. This prevents catastrophic collisions and reduces "air cutting" (moving without cutting) by up to 40%.
