Nesting and programming software for 2D cutting and punching

Resulting from Alma’s 30-year experience in cutting optimization and CAM for cutting and punching, the act/cut nesting and programming software has been designed for fluid jet cutting machines (laser, plasma, oxyfuel, water jet) as well as for punch-presses, routing machines and combined technology machines. act/cut controls all machine brands and optimally takes into account each technology at every step of the programming, from part preparation to NC code generation, from nesting to tool path optimization.

Windows® native and compliant with the Microsoft standards, act/cut is a user friendly software. It integrates a Visual-Basic® compatible language which proposes total customization (menus, macros, creation of parameterized parts) together with an Excel® compatible spreadsheet to easily create paper documents.

With act/cut, you really save time: the software operates automatically whenever it is possible, but offers the final choice to the user for optimal efficiency in particular situations.

Thanks to its exclusive nesting algorithms which are adapted to every cutting constraint, act/cut increases notably your material efficiency.

act/cut is an open system that imports part geometries from any CAD software and is easily interfaced with Production Management and ERP systems. Many craft modules can be optionally integrated to the solution: 3D import and unfolding of sheet-metal parts, modules developed for boiler making or ventilation, letter and drawing cutting (logos, trade signs, mosaics), tube cutting with 3-axis machines equipped with a rotative axis...
