- Minimum offcuts
values - allows to define the minimum dimensions for
reusable offcuts, for the selected material type. Reusable offcuts
are displayed on the cutting layuouts and qualifies for the booking
process.
The key to maximum material yield is reusing offcuts.
Surplus material that is left after cutting can often be used
in another project.
Smart2DCutting can determine which offcuts to keep based on minimum
dimensions of reusable offcuts. Reusable offcuts are labeled on
the cutting layout and printed in reports.
For details on how to keep reusable offcuts see the Stock
Management section.
