Work with irregular panels
Define a polygonal stock boundary, including offcuts. Plan within the shape and usable area of the material, rather than assuming a new rectangular sheet.
From irregular stock.
To a planned production job.
ONIT Cam brings automatic part placement, irregular panels, work-holding and toolpaths into one production workspace. Prepare the job around the material you actually have.
One workspace for the whole setup
Define the real panel→Auto-place the parts→Plan fixings & cuts
A leftover panel does not have to be rectangular to become the starting point for a new job.
Automatic part placement
Arrange multiple parts and quantities within the stock. The planned nesting workflow accounts for spacing, permitted rotations and grain direction, with manual adjustments when needed.
Position the job in context
Keep the panel, machine work area and parts together in a persistent spatial view. Adjust the layout directly instead of reconstructing the setup across separate steps.
Include the work-holding
Plan screw positions alongside the cuts. Review toolpath clearance and which parts are held, making the fixture plan part of the production job.
Change the layout, revisit the plan
Moving a part affects the job around it. The architecture is designed to invalidate affected fixture and toolpath results, so an old plan is not silently reused after changes.
Prepare the machine file
STEP and DXF import, with Mach3 and GRBL output, are planned for the first release. ONIT Cam prepares the job; your existing controller operates the machine.
The offcut becomes
the next job.
Start with an irregular panel left from a previous cut. Define its outline, load the parts and quantities, let the layout find their positions, then review fixings and toolpaths in the same scene. The goal: less manual setup and a clearer route from available material to production.
Windows-first desktop software in development, designed for offline use. The spatial interaction prototype has been tested; automatic nesting, machining output and the complete production workflow remain under development.
