New AccuMark CAD software at Gerber
Gerber Technology has introduced a new version of its AccuMark CAD software with the aim of increasing productivity and making it easier to use.
AccuMark 8.4.1 is used for pattern design, grading, marker making and nesting.
The new Autosave feature helps to protect against lost work and lost time caused by unexpected shutdowns during power loss or other unanticipated situations. The Batch engine allows users to automatically move jobs through different processes in the system with enhanced flexibility and control.
A new compaction function is now available to help improve material utilisation and this can be used interactively during marker making. Once a group of pieces are placed, Compact Marker can be used to improve the efficiency of that section of the marker.
AccuMark's ability to generate cut data has also been enhanced. The automatic start point option automatically identifies the knife entry points at optimal points. There is also a new option to cut certain line segments more slowly when dealing with complex contours.
New support for shade zones in AccuNest also makes it easier to manage inconsistent fabric. Markers for fabrics with variations in shading can now be made automatically.
