MOST 2D - Standard is a CNC nesting software designed for gas, plasma, and laser cutting processes. Its main function is to optimize material usage by creating efficient layouts for cutting.
To launch the nesting module, you'll need to enter the following password: li8 (small letter L, small letter I, digit eight). On the other hand, the mini-CAD module will start without any password. Know More.doc, a document containing step-by-step instructions on how to use the software, is available in the installation folder. You can open this document in your word processing software.
MOST 2D also provides online help. However, some of the features might not be described in detail in this help section, as it may be outdated. In such cases, please refer to the release notes attached to the software or get in touch with our customer support team by emailing ksa@vsnl.com or sales@most2d.com.
MOST 2D's CAD module, Item.exe, supports a wide range of functions including standard shape generation, conversion of 2-D shape drawings from dxf/dwg/cnc format, and automatic as well as manual leadin-leadout attachment. However, there are certain menus/commands that are not available in this module, including Cut, Tools > CNC settings, and Tools > Export.
The nesting and cutting module, Most.exe, is loaded with useful features such as automatic nesting of multiple shapes and stocks, manual nesting using add/delete/rotate/move/mirror commands, and real-time error checking during manual nesting. MOST 2D's sophisticated technology enables automatic toolpath updation at all stages of automatic as well as manual nesting, automatic and editable sequencing of each cutting cycle, automatic and editable path (cw/ccw) for each cutting cycle, leadin-leadout manipulation, and statistical as well as graphical report generation. Additionally, you have the option to output nested layouts in DXF format and generate CNC code for selected controllers.
In summary, MOST 2D - Standard is a comprehensive software solution for automatic nesting in CNC gas, plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting applications. With a wide range of features and extensive user support, MOST 2D - Standard is a great tool for optimizing your cutting processes.
