Every time when you cut pieces from wood, veneer or drywall sheets you
probably puzzle over finding a way to cut all required pieces from
standard-sized sheets. If you cannot cut all pieces from one sheet you
should know how many sheets you need to accomplish your project. This is
not easy task even for experienced workers and therefore using so-called
nesting software is a common practice in woodworking area.
There are tens of nesting software packages available for desktop
computers that work well and help people to minimize waste of expensive
materials and reduce the complexity of the sheet cutting tasks.
The only weak point of the existing nesting software packages is ability
to work only on desktop computers or laptops. But the most sheet cutting
tasks appear and have to be solved on construction sites and workshops,
where nor a desktop computer neither a laptop can be used because of its
size and weight.
Optimalon Software decided to overcome this problem and create mobile
nesting software that can work wherever you work. We've combined the
latest mobile technologies and new robust state-of-art optimization
algorithms into our new product - GNCutter. GNCutter designed for
Pocket PC or Smartphones that you already carry with you everywhere. It
gives you the ability to solve sheet cutting tasks no matter where you
are!
GNCutter calculates and displays to you how to cut sheets with minimal
waste.
It takes in account the saw thickness and uses two types of cutting
methods: nesting and guillotine. Guillotine
method accepts only orthogonal cuts from one side of sheet completely to
another side.
You can get more information and freely download GNCutter from Optimalon

After downloading and installing on your mobile device you can solve
real-world sheet cutting tasks or play with the examples provided by
Optimalon Software.
