Working in the Plasmicon PlasmaCalc & Nest software suite
Cutting Calculator
This program is used to calculate the cost of gas-plasma cutting. The price list allows you to flexibly adjust the pricing policy for the provision of gas-plasma cutting services.
In addition, this program allows you to import data from the project “generator of nonlinear nesting” and also to export the data to the nonlinear nesting calculator, which allows you to include these programs in the overall business process in the enterprise.
The program allows you to generate reports for the client and the manager. Export reports are carried out in most popular formats. In addition, the client receives information about the cost of products and services in a visual form immediately. Thus, the principle of transparency of pricing policy is implemented.
In addition, the program allows you to download the price list, formed on the basis of settings, which allows you to always keep the public price list up to date.
Nonlinear Nesting Generator
This program allows you to arrange the details on the workpiece with the further formation of cutting patterns. The layout can be carried out either separately for the selected material, or for several materials simultaneously.
The main features of the program “Generator of nonlinear nesting”
- The program keeps track of the decomposed parts, used workpieces
- There is a layout mode “detail in detail”
- The layout of open vectors is possible;
- Layout of parts for several materials at once;
- Edit the result of the layout;
- Group export of layout results;
- Adding details from the library of parameterizable templates
- A library of materials with layout settings for each material is maintained
- Importing blanks from a file
- Import of blanks from the procurement library
- Print a common nesting chart.
Library of Parametrizable Templates
Both programs allow you to add to the parts vector from the library of parameterizable templates.
The library contains the following part templates:
- Circle
- Ring
- Lug
- Corner plate
- Rectangle
- Shim
- Round flange
- Rect flange
- Anchor plate
- Paddle
- Triangle comb
- Linear cut pattern
Separately, I would like to note the “Linear cut pattern” and the “Triangle comb” template.
Cutting steel sheet into rectangles with one cut
These templates are a vector that allows you to cut out a few details in one cut. This method of cutting significantly saves time, when it is necessary to cut out details of a rectangular or triangular shape.
