i-cut Layout Essential Description
i-cut Layout Essential is a handy piece of software that allows you to reduce the preparation time for large layouts that are employed in million or operator-intensive tilling jobs considerably.
Comes with an intuitive and airy workspace
Following a quick and uneventful setup, you are welcomed by a clean and intuitive interface that features two view modes. You can add layouts, specify the nesting shape, width and height as well as the limit bleed from the prepare mode. In the layout mode, you can preview details about the sheet you are using, define the number of copies and add smart marks.
It is important to note that the application provides you with two nesting options, namely Guillotine and True Shape. While the latter accounts for the actual shapes of the graphics and allows you to cut down waste material to a minimum, the Guillotine enables you to make sure that all cuts are possible on a cutter tool.
It helps you prepare the layout via cutting lines
Once you have settled for the optimal nesting settings for your layout, you should know that you can add graphics and create a cut path that can be used as a nesting shape for it. The program allows you to create a path using the outline of all visible objects or you can use a configuration that you already have in a specific layer or separation.
You can create cutting lines automatically and speed up the preparation process even further using mapping rules. Therefore, if your layout contains numerous graphics that are set in the same way, you can access the Options window and set the rules for the matching cutting lines.
A utility that can reduce errors and costs in layout preparation
In the eventuality that you would like to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing processes, then one idea is to implement a strategy to reduce the preparation time. i-cut Layout Essential is a handy tool that can lend you a hand with identifying a cost-efficient option for the layout before printing it.
