Plugin Builder – Ottimo Perfect Cut Integration

This article discusses the settings for integration with the Ottimo Perfect Cut cut optimizer, where the following topics are presented:

The Ottimo-Perfect Cut version must be 7.90 or higher, otherwise the integration will not work correctly. If you have a lower version, you need to update the software.

Ottimo Perfect Cut integrates with Wincut (slicer cutting plan software from SCM/Tecmatic), sends cutting plan and label information directly to the saw.
