Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a system for machine cutting several parts () out of a piece of material using a beam cutting technology. The invention provides a set of controlling rules and variables for cutting two dimensional shapes or patterns. One rule or a combination of several rules are used for the cutting operation depending on the shape or pattern to be cut, the shape or pattern forming the parts () out of the piece of material. The present invention specifically teaches that the set of controlling rules comprises rules for the forming of a cluster (A) of parts with free form shapes, the parts being positioned so close to each other so that only the thickness of one cut from the cutting beam is found between adjacent parts whenever the shape of the parts allows it.
