Cut2D - Features
|
|
| |
|
The Cut2D interface is very easy to
understand and includes
the following design and machining functionality:
Boundary Creation &
Vector Tools
- Open or Import industry standard
file formats DXF, EPS,
AI & PDF files that contain vector data
- Work in Inches or Metric units
- Fix open shapes to make them
continuous and machinable profiles This is a typical
problem with many DXF designs that are constructed from
separate entities.
- Automatically identify and select
duplicate shapes in a file
This is a typical problem when working with designs from
older sign making packages.
- Text entry using any True Type
Fonts installed on the PC.
- Drawing Tools for standard shapes
- Rectangles, Circles and Ovals with interactive sizing
and positioning.
- Scaling and Positioning
interactively using the mouse or with precise typed input.
- Quick alignment of the design
inside the material block or relative to other shapes
- Interactive, quick and easy Node,
Point and Span editing.
- Measure distances, angles,
radiuses and object properties
- Export 2D vectors as DXF, EPS, AI
for use in other software.

CNC Functionality
- Profile machine around the Outside, Inside or On
the selected shapes with automatic compensation for the cutter shape
& diameter even when using angled engraving cutters.
- Tabs also called Bridges can be added
interactively to Profile toolpaths to ensure parts are held in place
during machining. Tabs are essential when cutting parts out of sheet
material.
- Control where to start cutting and the option to
ramp the cutter into the material which is very important when cutting
hard materials.
- Pocket machining with options for Offset or
Raster cutting.
- All toolpaths include the option for multiple Z
passes and ramping the cutter into the material.
- 3D Solid model toolpath preview that shows what
material each toolpath will remove, with options to display the preview
in various material types and an optional colour to indicate where
material has been removed.
- 2D Wireframe Preview of each toolpath showing
cut direction that instantly shows where the cutter will machine.
- Tool Database for quick and easy cutter
selection. The Tool Database also stores your own tooling information
with the cutting parameters – speeds, feed rates, tool number etc.
- Postprocessor's for virtually all industry
standard CNC control systems
Mach3, GCode, ISO, Fanuc, Flashcut, HPGL, PLT, WinCNC, XYZ,
DeskCNC, ShopBot, TurboCNC, EMC + many others.
- The postprocessor's can be edited to configure
the CNC output to be changed as required Contact support@vectric.com
if you have any questions about postprocessor's

"For relief milling I haven't come across a
simpler and more cost effective solution than CUT3D. Great work!" -
