Lantek | Expert Tutorial

Use the feature to push parts tightly against one another without overlapping. Section 6: Step 5 – Optimizing the Cutting Path (CAM)

Understanding the workspace is the first step toward software proficiency. The Lantek Expert environment is divided into distinct modules optimized for specific tasks. Main Workspace Modules

For small parts that might tip over on the machine slats and collide with the cutting head, apply micro-joints. These are tiny gaps in the cutting path (usually 0.5mm to 1.5mm wide) that keep the part securely attached to the skeleton skeleton sheet until the operator shakes them loose manually. 6. Step 5: Simulation and G-Code Generation

Don't place parts just to fill space—think about how they will be machined. Use Lantek Expert's Cutting Order > Manual Sequence to arrange cuts in the most logical and efficient way. lantek expert tutorial

Every open space on a sheet is an opportunity to optimize. Rotate, slide, and fit parts together manually to use every bit of the sheet. Better nesting means fewer material changes and less scrap.

Set the minimal spacing required between two adjacent cut lines (usually equal to or greater than the material thickness).

If you don't have a file, you can use Lantek’s internal CAD tools to draw shapes, add chamfers, or create offsets. Use the feature to push parts tightly against

Are you looking to master , or do you need help with manual sequencing and common-line cutting ?

This is often the most sought-after topic because it relates directly to reducing scrap and costs. Automatic vs. Manual Nesting Strategies : A deep dive into the Lantek Expert Cut

Once your parts are nested on the sheet, you must apply the mechanical instructions that tell your CNC machine exactly how to cut. Lead-ins and Lead-outs Main Workspace Modules For small parts that might

For custom, low-volume, or complex priority jobs, manual placement offers total control.

Select your file and choose the correct measurement unit (Millimeters or Inches).
