Biesse Optiplanning Software Here
Biesse Optiplanning is specialized software designed for the optimization of cutting patterns on Selco beam saws, focusing on minimizing material waste and production costs
. It features advanced algorithms, inventory management for offcuts, and a statistics module for calculating material yield and cost efficiency WOOD TEC PEDIA . For more details, visit biesse.com b_opti - Biesse biesse optiplanning software

4. Workflow Integration
Optiplanning sits in the middle of the Biesse ecosystem: Import: It imports files from major CAD/CAM systems
- Import: It imports files from major CAD/CAM systems (importing
.bwx,.mpr,.dxf, etc.). - Export: It sends optimized programs directly to the machine control (Biesse NC logic).
Implementation and Training
Biesse offers a structured deployment for OptiPlanning:
- Assessment: Biesse analyzes your 6-month cutting history to predict specific yield improvement.
- Installation: The software runs on a Windows Server PC connected to your network (or as a cloud VM via Biesse Cloud).
- Template Building: Biesse engineers build your "Technology Library" (your specific tool diameters, spindle speeds, and vacuum hold-down patterns).
- Training (3 Days): Two days for programmers (nesting rules, grain, remnants) and one day for operators (loading nests, overriding parts).
Warning: The software is powerful but complex. Do not attempt to self-teach advanced batch logic without Biesse certification. Poorly set up grain rules can cause 30% waste instead of 10%.
BiesseWorks
OptiPlanning works natively with BiesseWorks (the CAD design software). When a designer finishes a 3D model in BiesseWorks, they click "Send to Nest." There is no file conversion, no DXF cleanup, and no layer mapping. The design geometry transfers directly to OptiPlanning with material thickness, tool depth, and drilling locations intact.
