Use Remnant Remnant ICON to select and create remnants. The software adds remnants to the database when it creates the NC program.

Type

Displays the available remnant types (see the figure below).

Stepped Remnant

Creates a remnant with a stepped edge.

TrueShape Remnant

Creates a remnant with an edge that follows the contour of the nested parts.

Straight Cut Remnant

Creates a remnant with a straight edge in the X direction. Horizontal rectangular remnant is possible from left and/or right plate edge.

StraightVertical Remnant

Creates a remnant with a straight edge in the Y direction. Vertical rectangular remnant is possible to leave from bottom and/or from top plate edge.

Parameters

Corner Type

Defines the corner type of offset geometry: Select Square, Round, or Sharp.

Square corner type

Round corner type

Sharp corner type

Technology Shape Type

Defines the shape type of cut technology like pierce, lead, ridge, corner loop. Select TrueShape or MinMax Box.

TrueShape technology shape type

MinMax Box technology shape type

Minimum length and width of the rectangle

Defines the minimum length and width of the remnant. If the remnant is smaller than the defined minimum, you cannot activate the remnant.

Minimum area of the rectangle

Defines the minimum area of the remnant. If the remnant area is smaller than the defined minimum, you cannot activate the remnant.

Offset Distance

Cleans up the remnant shape. This is useful especially when using the TrueShape type. Usually a good value for this parameter is the part-part distance.

Refresh Remnant Shape

Refreshes the shape of the remnant using the Parameters values. Click Refresh Remnant Shape when you modify the values.

Generate Cut Path

Creates a cutting path between the remnant and the parts. We recommend that you only use this option with stepped or straight cut remnants.

Geometry Tools

Activate

Enables you to select unused areas of the plate to mark them as remnants. Point to an area to display information about the area (surface area, width, and height) in a tool tip. Click to activate the area.

Scrap Cut ICON Scrap Cut

Enables you to create additional cutting paths, and then cut the remaining plate in smaller pieces.
