2D CAM and Nesting Software
Optimize the cutting of foam, stone, wood, metals, plastics, and other block materials using advanced true 3D nesting.
Almacube is advanced 3D nesting and block cutting optimization software designed for manufacturers cutting materials supplied as blocks or three-dimensional stock. From a set of available raw-material blocks and required output parts, Almacube automatically calculates highly optimized 3D layouts to reduce material waste and cutting time.
Unlike systems that simply stack 2D layers, Almacube performs true 3D nesting. Parts are optimized throughout the complete block volume, while the software can also evaluate available stock and select the most suitable raw-material blocks for production.
The solution goes beyond nesting by considering cutting technology, machine constraints, reusable offcuts, production priorities, tolerances, and required output quantities. Cutting plans can be adapted to different technologies such as wire, blade, and saw cutting, making Almacube suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Almacube can also connect with production-management and ERP systems, helping manufacturers integrate 3D material optimization into broader production workflows.
Key features
Automatically arrange required parts throughout the complete three-dimensional volume of a raw-material block. Unlike simple layer stacking, Almacube creates compact 3D layouts to improve material yield and reduce unused volume.
Optimize not only the placement of parts within a block but also determine which available blocks are best suited to the production requirement. Almacube can manage multiple outputs and select appropriate stock according to the optimization objective.
Minimize waste by generating reusable offcuts, prioritizing existing remnants for future jobs, and maintaining traceability of available material. This helps manufacturers recover value from previously unused block stock.
Generate cutting plans according to actual machine and process constraints. Almacube can account for technologies such as wire, blade, and saw cutting, edge-to-edge requirements, tolerances, and other production-specific cutting rules.
Import required part dimensions, quantities, and available raw-material block information directly from CSV files for faster optimization setup.

FAQ
Common questions
Almacube is advanced 3D nesting and block cutting optimization software that automatically arranges required parts within the complete volume of raw-material blocks to improve material utilization and reduce waste.
Almacube can receive CSV files containing the required parts and available stock information. Part dimensions, quantities, and raw-material block data can be imported to create the optimization requirement without manually entering every item.
Traditional methods often optimize parts layer by layer. Almacube performs true 3D nesting, considering the complete volume of the block to find compact arrangements and improve overall material yield.
