C-Cut Levels & Options

C-Cut is available in several Levels: From the simple C-Cut Starter that easily converts imported geometry to machine file to Level 3, with the advanced management features.

C-Cut Levels & Options

C-Cut Starter: Simple and easy to operate. C-Cut starter imports geometry via DXF, and the geometry is easily converted into a machine file. A Post Processor Generator is included, to adapt to any cutting machine.

C-Cut Light: C-Cut Light offers full Geometry where the parts can be created or imported. The parts are cut quickly with leads and additional functions in the Geocut module. The Geometry includes dimensioning, cutting Text of any font, shape and size, and cutting Scanned pictures. Also included are over 50 standard shapes.

Level 1 - Basic: For better cutting results and organization. In level 1, the user stores his parts in Models, which are organized libraries of parts with their attributes.. Parts from the Models are sorted and entered in Orders, nested manually and cut automatically and/or manually. There is a large selection of leads for parts external, internal and small hole cutting.

For Level 2 there is a choice of Automatic, Manual and Professional. The Generic Post includes features to improve cutting.

Level 2 - Automatic: The program creates the Orders automatically and nests and cuts the parts automatically. The automatic nesting is an efficient true shape automatic with nesting in internal holes. The Automatic Nesting and Cutting include features to insure good cutting of the parts.

Level 2 - Manual: Required for companies that want to reach a high degree of material utilization, better quality for their parts and savings in consumables. Creating the machine files, with features like advanced manual nesting, common line cutting and continuous cutting, involves more expertise and time, but the results are better and complex jobs can be handled easily.

Level 2 - Professional: Combines the ease of the Automatic operation with the flexibility and features of the Manual features for better material utilization and higher quality parts.

Level 3 - Advanced Management: Level 3 offers a high degree of managing the parts and controlling the output of C-Cut, for machine files and reports. With Advanced Management, almost all the attributes in the program for nesting, cutting or Posts, like kerf, leads and feeds, are parametric and can be made to depend on material, thickness, machine type or Post specifications. Parts can be better sorted, parts can be better cut and custom part cost reports generated.

Post Generator: For all levels, C-Cut offers a Post Processor Generator as standard. With the Post Processor Generator the user can create a new Post or modify an existing one. From Level 1 upwards the Post can be used to read any machine file into the geometry. From Level 2, the post includes features to improve the cutting

Option - Parametric Shape Library: The simple parametric shapes are standard. The 3-D parametric shapes are an option. A strong feature of this option is the ability to generate parametric shapes by using a very simple language and procedure.

Option - Bevel Cutting: C-Cut developed new bevel cutting procedures and software for bevel data preparation and bevel cutting. Bevel data preparation was reduced from days to hours and bevel cutting became simpler and more accurate.

Option - Tube Cutting: This option is to be used with machines that have rotating axis to cut tubes. The user can cut, mill and weld holes of standard and DXF defined holes in tubes. The holes can be cut in an offset and angle from the tube axis. There is also a 3D-Viewer option, to view the cut tubes.
