Sorting and Optimization
To avoid collisions of the tools with the workpiece and to minimize the time a workpiece blocks the machine, the export provides some built-in mechanisms. The routings are sorted in the following manner:
- Vertical drillings.
- Sizing.
- Horizontal drillings.
The movement of the machine head is optimized in the following manner:
- Sort by surface.
- Sort by tool.
- Within each surface and tool, use the routing with the smallest x and y coordinates as a starting point.
- From there, search the routing with the smallest distance.
