If you need to work out cutting lists for doors or panels from;

  • Veneer Boards
  • Grained Melamine
  • Melamine
  • Supawood
  • Steel and stainless steel sheets ...
  • Polycarbonate boards
  • Glass panes
  • And other square materials

and you spend hours of work and thinking in trying to achieve the most optimum arrangement of individual parts on the material sheet surface, imagine that you can spend this time by doing what you like the best or simply more efficiently.
Imagine at the same time, that all those small off cuts, which remained in your workshop from previous jobs and there is hardly ever any further use for them now, would join into larger pieces and they would be used in other jobs……if you had the time to figure out where to use them. Certainly, you will have many ideas how to spend the money saved. Nowadays the cost for just one sheet of cherry double face is close to R1000.00.
If you multiply these imaginations by an average 90-95% efficiency of arrangement of necessary parts in a few seconds, then you get a general idea about the contribution and help provided by the OPTIMIK program.

Our goal is to minimize the time you require to design a cutting plan compared to "manual" designs and increase the efficiency at the same time. When creating a plan, the program arranges the specified rectangular boards on as little number of material sheets as possible, AND it also makes use of cut offs from previous jobs, identifies the waste as maximum usable cut offs and thus saves you time and money extensively
