3.Duplication
It includes Array duplication、Duplication along a line、Duplication along an Arc、Duplication along a spiral curve.


4.Text:Text input、Text editing、Charset setting、Text composition.
Font: Using Unicode encoding, and the system font; providing a variety of single font
Text Editing: Including word size, word spacing, line spacing, horizontal and vertical, alignment and so on.
Text Composition: Along a curve, inside a box, reverse arrangement and texts in sequence.
Text Properties: Arbitrary scaling text size, text attributes remain unchanged; text can be converted into graphics.

 

5.Nesting
It includes Auto and Interactive Nesting. After nesting, a most economical line and an excess material graphic (for future reference when reusing the excess material) can be generated automatically. They both have interference alarm to prevent accidental cutting.
Auto Nesting
1) Parameters setting such as kerf width, cutting margin compensation and Iteration count;
2) Nesting method setting: starting point ((Left bottom, Right bottom, Left up, Right up), direction: X direction and Y direction;
3) Precise calculation, such as inside hole nesting, to improve the efficiency of working and utilization rate of material.
Interactive Nesting
1）After setting the parameters of kerf width, cutting margin compensation and Iteration count; You can manually nest objects by Interactive Nesting.
2）Interference alarm to prevent accidental cutting and the objects can be placed arbitrarily without any interference with each other and with the boundary.
Remain material nesting、Text nesting
With Interactive nesting or Auto nesting functions, remain material can be used for next nesting. After convert text to curve, the text also can be Interactive nested or Auto nested.





6.Remain Material Management
Whether using remaining material is reasonable is related to the utilization rate of material. Using remaining material unreasonably can cause waste of material. Remaining material management provides us an easy way to recycle material and ensure the continuity of the work.
Remaining boundary
Remaining boundary can be shown during Auto nesting and Interactive Nesting, and the range of it will be changed when you move cursor. Remaining boundary separates parts from remaining material, so that tedious manual cutting is replaced. Remaining boundary helps remaining material management and reuse.
Remain Figure
Remain figure can be added into remain library so that remain figure can be found easily when you want to use it.
Remain library
After editing serial number, you can add remain figure into remain library. UcanNest2010 provides Note function so that you also can record the related information for remain figure, such as material, area, thickness etc.
Preview figure: Open the file folder of remain library and click file, then you can preview this file in preview window so that the file you need can be found quickly.
Remain Nesting
Remain material can be used for next nesting, so that work efficiency and material utilization rate are improved.

7.Node
This is one of the particular function in UcanNest2010.It provides the solution for cutting bevels and solution for cut in/out. With node editing function, chamfer and fillet can be generated accurately and extracted contour can be edited quickly.
Solution for Cutting bevels
Solution for Cut in/out
The parameters of the length of cut in/out line and rounded angle radius can be set accurately. Multi-node can be edited once.
Node Editing
With node editing function, you can edit extracted contour of figure accurately and arbitrarily. You also can change the shape of cut in/out line and select any node as the starting point for machining.
8.Bridges
Bridge is to minimize the wear and tear on consumable items in cutting process. The number of pierce holes can be reduced by using bridge or break-out bridge. The minimum bridge width should be larger than kerf value. The length of Cut in/out line should be set respectively.
9.Break-out
Setting position and width of Break-out Bridge arbitrarily;
Reducing the piercing of the holes in oxy flame cutting and consumed electricity in plasma cutting for effective improvement of productivity and expenses on consumable parts.
10.Cut in/out
UcanNest2010 provide many types of cut in/out. Cut-in position and cut-out position can be selected arbitrarily
Types of Cut in/out
It can be straight line, Arc or others. Parameters as the length of line, angle of line (0—90) and radius of arc can be set accurately.
11.Snap Function
Snap function is very helpful when we draw figures. It improves the efficiency of drawing. This function also can be used for accurately finding Cut in/out position. The type of position will be shown when cursor moves on it.
12.Continuous Cutting
Entering the shortest distance value between cut-out of last part and cut-in of the next part to facilitate the possibility of continuous cutting, can reduce the number of pierce holes in oxy flame cutting and save nozzle for effective improvement of productivity and expenses on consumable parts.
13.Intelligent Function
When generating a path for a figure with both internal outline and external outline, UcanNest2010 will calculate path for internal outline and external outline respectively and add cut inline for them. Internal outline is in inner so that you need not define internal outline and external outline in person.

14.Path
This function includes manual path and auto path and path output. When doing manual setting for cutting path, it is necessary to pay attention to cut sequence, direction of travels and angle of Cut in/out for both the internal and external contours. The advantage of the manual path is that you can add cut in/out line arbitrarily and you can manually control the direction and cutting sequence. You can also select relevant cutting paths for different parts. Automatic output is a high efficient method for path editing, and the interface of it is easy to understand.
Manual path
The parameters of it include Offset compensation (left, right, none) and Processing speed. When doing manual setting for cutting path, you can cancel the action and re-select direction of travel and you also can change the direction of travel by changing the direction of arrow and broken line, So that under the instruction of manual path, it is easier to generate the path for common cutting.
Auto path
Auto Path can generate the cutting path automatically. It can be classified into On, Outside and Inside according to relationships between the torch center axis and the contour.
Path output
After generate the path, we can output the path to G-code file.
Parameters including Device type , mode, origin, file name and save .

15.path Edit
We can edit generated path. Such as Path Sequence, Path Panel, Group Path, Ungroup Path and path stat.
Path Sequence
Tool path sequence can be adjusted so as to improve machining process and machining quality. The sequence number of path is shown at the beginning of start point for processing so that the sequence number is easy to change.
Path Panel
Path panel is used to divide a path into several smaller portions so that you can machine materials accurately even when the work area of your machine is not big enough. After machining, you can combine the portions together to form a complete one. In this way, not only machining time is reduced, but efficiency is improved.
Group Path and Ungroup Path
You can group several paths as one unit for machining. You also can output several paths respectively.
Path Stat.
With Path Stat., the UCanNest2010 can show all the length of path, rapid move distance, piercing hole count, cutting time，so that we can evaluate the efficiency of path.
16.Path Walk Simulation
Machining path can be previewed though path walk simulation, which can avoid machining errors and reducing fault. Simulation speed can be changed.

17.path Output
Machine processing (cutting, pre-pierce, marker) cutting speed, fast speed; original point based on a special point or precise positioning output.
Cutting—common machine processing
Pre-pierce---we can utilize the used nozzles to finish the holes first and then continue cutting with the good nozzle, so that nozzle can be saved.
Marker---draw the outline of figure. It is an inspection before processing.

18.Post Set
Software generates G code and M direction. You can add different types of device as you required. Set parameters for Opening fire and Closing fire.
Files' types can be *.nc 、*.txt or others.
You can check or un-check generated speed command.
