Leftovers Support Introduced in Version 7.0 of
Linear Material Cut Optimization Add-In 1DCutX
for Excel
1888PressRelease - New version of linear cutting
optimization add-in for Excel supports using
leftovers before actual stocks. This option
reduces a total material waste for users who
perform cutting jobs on a regular basis. Metal
fabrications, woodworking shops and construction
companies cut linear material, like beams, pipes
and bars on a regular basis. Even when using
optimization solutions like 1DCutX, there will
still be some leftovers (waste) produced during
the cutting. After several months of developing
and testing, Optimalon Software has released
version 7.0 of its optimization add-in 1DCutX for
Microsoft Excel to support utilization of such
waste. Although the material utilization of the
current project may be less effective, the total
waste from several projects will be significant
reduced by effectively re-cycling leftovers from
one project to the next one. The users of
1DCutX can now specify the cells in their
worksheets that provide waste stock information,
for the calculation engine to use first before
using the standard material. This option is
accessible on the second page called "Waste
Stocks" and can be turned on/off by the check box
on that page.
Verison 7.0 of 1DCutX also includes a new
calculation option to generate the list of waste
stocks from the current project. It creates a
separate worksheet "1D_waste_stock" that includes
info, length and quantities of the stock
leftovers. The user can copy data from this
worksheet and use it as input information for the
next project. With the initial investments of
97, users of 1DCutX reported monthly savings in
materials alone ranging from 200 to 1500. The
software pays for itself in less than a month.
