Saw support
SmartCut's post-processor pipeline converts an optimised cutting layout directly into the CNC format your saw expects, with no manual transcription and no intermediate software. Core formats are validated end-to-end against real saw hardware, so the file that leaves SmartCut is the file your saw runs.
Capability matrix
Every format is validated against the saw's own control software and, where possible, against real saw hardware, checked for geometric accuracy across a library of real production jobs before it ships to your machine.

FAQ
SmartCut exports CNC files for 13+ beam saw models across eight vendors: Homag (PTX, CADmatic and CPOUT), Biesse OptiPlanner and Selco, Mayer, SCM, Schelling Commander, Giben, Striebig and Jingwei.
It depends on the machine. Homag uses PTX, Biesse and SCM use Biesse XML, Mayer uses .may and Schelling uses .nc. SmartCut emits the right format automatically from the optimised layout, and the table above lists the format for each model.
Yes. New formats are added through a structured validation process. Get in touch, because we may already have a prototype, or we can scope a format development project.
Yes. Each format is validated against the saw's own control software, with geometry and accuracy checks across a library of real production jobs before it ships to a machine.
