3D nesting software for volume cutting (foam, stone, wood, etc.)

act/cube is a 3D nesting software aimed at professionals specialized in cutting materials such as foam, polystyrene, polyurethane, marble, wood but also deep-frozen food. From a set of raw-material blocks and a set of outputs to be produced, act/cube automatically calculates the 3D layout for significant savings in terms of time and material.

Material savings

Thanks to a powerful optimization algorithm, act/cube enables you to quickly execute very compact 3D assemblies. The software optimizes the use of material not only within a block but also by choosing the best blocks to be used. act/cube also enables you to reuse offcuts as a priority.

Time savings

Looking for 3D nestings manually is a long and difficult task; act/cube enables you to quickly execute this work and improve the results.

Flexibility and adaptability

• Use interface easy to manage

• Easy coupling with Production Management and ERP systems

• Management of minimum and maximum requests

• Minimization of offcuts and generation of reusable offcuts

• Possibility of managing multiple outputs

• Choice of the optimization time

• True 3D nestings (not just piling up layers)

• Cutting plans adapted to the functionalities of the machines (edge to edge cutting, etc.) and to the different cutting technologies (wire, blade, saw, etc.)

Based on a powerful calculation engine, act/cube easily adapts to your needs in terms of interfaces and process constraints.

Possible applications

Cutting of foam blocks (mattresses, seats, cushions...); cutting of marble, granite, limestone, dolomite blocks (gravestone, ashlars); cutting of fallen trees, hewn stones (beam, rafter, joist, timber…); cutting of graphite sheets; cutting of parallelepiped metal blocks (steel, copper, aluminum, cast-iron...); cutting of polyester, polyethylene, polyurethane, polystyrene, polytetrafluoroethylen, polyvinyl chloride, rubber…

act/cube also allows the filling of containers, boxes, cases, cardboards...
