Maximising Material Efficiency with KASEMAKE Layout Software
When creating packaging, display units, stickers, gaskets, or any other project, efficiently using your material will make a massive difference in profitability and sustainability. KASEMAKE and its cutter-oriented alternative, K-CUT Vision Pro, offer tools to arrange drawings on a sheet to maximise material usage, ensuring you get the best yield from every sheet of board or material you use.
The Benefits of Optimal Layout
KASEMAKE’s layout tools are tailored to help users reduce waste and speed up the production process. By carefully arranging designs on each sheet, you can minimise material wastage and, at the same time, minimise the number of passes your cutter has to make. Where possible, KASEMAKE's layout algorithm will butt up similar length cuts, so instead of two passes, your digital cutter only has to create one. Not only does this reduce the time it takes to plot the job but wear on the blade is reduced, too, so they'll last longer. So, in more than one way, optimal layout reduces waste and saves time, which is financially and environmentally beneficial.
How KASEMAKE Maximises Efficiency
KASEMAKE includes automatic layout features that help users arrange designs in the most efficient configuration. The software can take design elements and align them within the constraints of the sheet size, allowing you to optimise cuts. It considers factors like flute direction (for corrugated jobs) so your designs fit well and maintain structural integrity. An option to rotate elements for better fit will automatically interlock your drawings to reduce waste further.
For designers looking for more control, KASEMAKE presents several layout adjustments, letting users select the arrangement that suits them best. By using these tools, designers can ensure a near-perfect balance of functionality and material conservation.
Advanced Nesting of Different Designs with KASENEST
Although KASEMAKE's nesting algorithms are sophisticated, sometimes customers have more complex nesting requirements. This is where KASENEST comes in. KASENEST is a separate application that can work with any number of different drawings simultaneously and continuously adjust the layout to get the maximum yield from your material.
Using KASEMAKE to layout your designs can streamline production, conserve resources, and reduce costs. By optimising material use, you not only help the bottom line but also contribute to more sustainable production practices. Try KASEMAKE, and see how it can enhance your design process!
