Cutting Optimization Pro 6 ✨

Launch COP6 and go to Stock Management . Enter the dimensions of your raw sheets (e.g., Width=48", Height=96", Price=$50). You can also enter multiple sizes.

If you forget to set your saw kerf to 0.125", COP6 will assume parts can sit flush against each other. In reality, you'll lose 1/8" per cut, causing parts to be undersized or impossible to cut. Fix: Always measure your blade width before optimizing. cutting optimization pro 6

Navigate to Part Management . Enter the name, width, height, and quantity of each component. For example: "Cabinet Side - Qty 20 - 24x30". Pro tip: Set priority levels (High/Medium/Low). High-priority parts get placed first, ensuring they always fit. Launch COP6 and go to Stock Management

If you lock parts to 0 degrees only (no rotation), utilization drops. COP6 v6 allows 90-degree rotation for wood grain—use it. For materials with no grain (aluminum, plastic), allow 180-degree rotation. If you forget to set your saw kerf to 0

By upgrading to COP6, you move from "guessing" to "knowing." You know exactly how many sheets a job requires before you cut the first piece. You know which offcuts to save. And you know your material utilization rate to two decimal places. For a sub-$500 investment, the return is typically measured in days, not months.

Unlike CAD programs that require manual nesting, COP6 uses advanced heuristic algorithms to automatically arrange thousands of parts in seconds. Version 6 represents a mature iteration of the software, offering enhanced stability, faster processing times for complex jobs, and improved reporting features compared to legacy versions (such as v3 or v4).

Generate a PDF of the cutting map for the shop floor. Print labels. If your CNC supports DXF output, COP6 can export the optimized layout as a DXF file, which you can load directly into a laser cutter or CNC router.
