Example 1: Basic Panel Layout - Yield increased by 1 part

This example shows a 4.0 x 5.0 part in a 16 up panel layout. It appears to be optimized.
Layout parameters: Panel Size: 18.0 x 24.0, Part Size: 4.0 x 5.0, Part Spacing: 0.1, Minimum Panel Borders: 0.65

Original Layout with 16 parts/panel

KwickFit optimized layout with 17 parts/panel
KwickFit calculated a panel layout that increased the part per panel yield from 16 to 17 parts by rotating 8 of boards 90°.

Example 2: Automatic Array Calculation - Yield increased by 18 parts

This example illustrates how KwickFit's intelligent array optimizer can improve your part per panel yield by calculating the optimum array design for any panel size. The original array had a 2 x 2 matrix that yielded 96 parts on an 18 x 24 panel. Again, this layout appears to be optimized.
Layout parameters: Panel Size: 18.0 x 24.0, Part Size: 1.0 x 2.0, Part Spacing: 0.1, Part Spacing on Array: 0.062, Array Borders: 0.362, Minimum Panel Borders: 0.65

Original layout with 96 parts/panel

KwickFit optimized layout with 108 parts/panel
Using the same basic array parameters (part size, spacing and rail widths, etc..), KwickFit's intelligent array optimizer calculated a new 1X4 array matrix that yielded 108 parts per panel. Note that in this case we required KwickFit to produce no more than a 4 up array. However in the section below, we gave KwickFit more latitude on the number of parts per array and it calculated an array design that produced an even higher part per panel yield.
