Layout Optimizer

Description

The Layout Optimizer module allows packaging producers to place one-up designs onto the sheet through a step-by-step wizard or automatically based on predefined templates. The software provides statistics about the waste area and offers comparison between alternative solutions.

If the producer wants to optimize the production runs for two or more one-ups or one-ups with different artworks in the same sheet, they can use the single sheet nesting.  The software shows statistics for each part and provides optimization hints based on the quantities for each one-up. Producers can manually readjust the layout with the collision prevention functionality making sure that the structures do not overlap and stay within the sheet area.
