Optimization types
There are 3 types of cuttings that this component can provide: guillotine, non-guillotine (nested) and guillotine multi-stages.
- Guillotine cuttings (from one edge to the other). The cuttings are parallel to the axes of coordinates as can be seen from the example below:
- Non guillotine (nested) cuttings. A given rectangle can be extracted without supplementary cuttings (as in the case of guillotine cuttings). Cutting machines with laser, flames, water jets can perform non-guillotine cuttings as can be seen below:
- Guillotine multi-stages cuttings (from one edge to the other). The cuttings are parallel to the axes of coordinates, but only one direction (either horizontal or vertical) is permitted in each stage:
Guillotine cuttings are performed by calling the StartGuillotine and
Guillotine cuttings in multi stages are performed by calling the StartMultiStages methods.
Non-guillotine (nested) cuttings are performed by calling StartNested method.
