Create an optimised cutting plan

1. 1
   Step 1

   Open cutting plan settings

   From the project, open Cutting plans → Settings.

2. 2
   Step 2

   Set stock sizes

   Choose sheet sizes (1500/2000 × 6000/12000 or custom sizes by thickness), bar lengths (6000 / 12000), kerf, edge trim and splice rules (max. 1 splice per part).

3. 3
   Step 3

   Switch on the levers

   Enable the material-saving levers: true contours from the IFC, pairing parts turned 180°, sheets cut to length, slit strips, remnants from stock and smart optimisation.

   Tip Remnants above the minimum size (plates ≥ 300×300, bars ≥ 1000) are returned to stock and not counted as scrap.
4. 4
   Step 4

   Run and review

   Run the optimisation and review plates by thickness and sections by cutting pattern. Groups that meet the 3 % scrap target are shown in green.

   Step 5

   Download machine files

   Download the combined PDF for the operator and the Bodor DXF (ZIP) with nested layouts and single parts for BodorCAM / CypCut.

   Tip Set cutting sequence, lead-ins and kerf compensation in the CAM software. Splice positions must be approved by the designer.
