For 30 years, Alma has been a specialist in nesting optimization for different industrial processes, notably material cutting. Now, Alma proposes to CAM and industrial-software developers a powerful software component for bar, rectangle and parallelepiped nesting. Opaline3 combines automatic nesting algorithms in one, two or three dimensions.
Thanks to the taking into account of the many machine constraints (guillotine cutting, complex cutting diagram, thickness of saw cuts, minimum distance between cutting lines, management of part matrixes, etc.), the Opaline3 component is perfectly adapted to flat or volume cutting of different materials (glass, wood, board, steel, plastic, foam, polyurethane, stone, marble, carbon, frozen products, etc.) but also to the filling of different volumes (containers, pallets, lorries, warehouses, etc.).
Its global optimization algorithms and its capacity to take into account different situations (diagonal bars, optional parts, multi-container nesting, offcut and priority management, etc.) ensure exceptional nesting results and minimal material losses.
Available on all platforms, the Opaline3 component easily integrates your application software thanks to a C interface. It is also available in the form of .net and java components. Opaline3 is also integrated into our act/cube, act/square and act/cut software, currently used by hundreds of industrial companies in the whole world.
For you to use Opaline3 in the best conditions, Alma proposes a package containing the development license, the associated documentation together with a follow-up service (assistance, maintenance and product update) to stand by you year after year.
