The "Materials" window is made up of 3 sections: Materials,
Minimum offcuts values and Material
price calculator.
|
- Materials
- allows you to configure materials options
Smart1DCutting manages different material sources and parts based
on the material field.
 |
| |
Name |
|
- the name of the material. This name appears
in the "Material" field of sources, parts and offcuts. |
| |
Saw width |
|
- the saw width is defined for each material.
The saw width is an important value. It should reflect the width of
the cut to get accurate cutting layouts. |
| |
Material price |
|
- the price of the material per length
unit. It can be defined per meter, inch, feet or per source. It is
used for cost calculation.
When the price is defined per source, the program will add to the
total cost the price of each source used, regardless of source usage.
Note: The material price defined here is at material
level, regardless of the source lengths. To set the material price
at the source level, for each length, please see the Stock
Management section. |
| |
Cutting price |
|
- the price of the cutting operation, per
cut or per source. It is used for cost calculation. |
| |
Description |
|
- the description of the material. This
field doesn't appear anywhere else in the program. |
|
|
|
- Minimum offcuts
values - allows to define the minimum length for reusable
offcuts, for the selected material type. Reusable offcuts are
displayed on the cutting layouts and qualifies for the booking
process.
The key to maximum material yield is reusing offcuts.
Surplus material that is left after cutting can often be used
in another project.
Smart1DCutting can determine which offcuts to keep based on minimum
length of reusable offcuts. Reusable offcuts are labeled on the
cutting layout and printed in reports.
For details on how to keep reusable offcuts see the booking
process section.

length. |
| |
Minimum offcuts values |
|
- the minimum Length for an offcut to be
recorded. |
|
|
- Material price calculator
- allows you to calculate material price per length unit, giving
the source price. This is useful when you only know the price
of the source but not the price per length unit.
Enter the price per source, the length of the source and the material
price per length unit will be calculated automatically. You can
use the "Price unit" field to set the length unit for
which the price is to be calculated: meter, inch or feet.
To assign the material price to the selected material, click the
"Set new price" button.
 |
| |

|
- the material for which the price is to
be calculated. This field is read-only and it change based on the
selected material. |
| |
Price per source |
|
- the price of a whole source. |
| |
Source length |
|
- the length of the source. |
| |
============= |
|
|
| |
Price unit |
|
- the length unit for which the price is
to be calculated. It can be meter, inch or feet.
Please note that for low prices of the source, the material price
per inch can be very small ( < 0.01 ) and it will not be considered.
In this situations please use feet or meter for the "Price unit"
field.
When the "Price unit" is set to "source" the length
value is ignored. |
| |
