SmartComposer: the software for laser cutting systems
Software that talks directly to the machine. In a few clicks you import, draw, optimize and cut.
SmartComposer is Cutlite Penta's software for laser cutting systems: it interfaces directly with the machine's numerical control and with the Smart Manager Plus, handling every production need and application.
Software developed with Eurosoft
Beyond building powerful, long-lasting laser systems, we also develop the software that runs them, able to manage different production needs. With the help of Eurosoft, a software engineering company, we designed and built software that interfaces directly with the machine's numerical control and with the Smart Manager Plus.
What you can do with SmartComposer
In just a few clicks you import and freely position files of various types, edit previous jobs or compose new ones. The supported formats are:
- .dxf, .dwg, .plt
- .nc, .rnc, .dstv
- .cf2, .svg
- .jpg, .bmp
Drawing functions, basic and advanced
SmartComposer has all the basic drawing functions (lines, arcs, rectangles, slots, circles) and supports more advanced operations:
- chamfer, trim and round corners
- create raster, dashed and LGP texts
Micro-joints and nesting among the best on the market
The software has an innovative method for the manual and automatic insertion of micro-joints and features one of the best nesting engines on the market, to make the most of every sheet.
One of the best nesting engines on the market.
Alignment with fiducial markers
On top of that, SmartComposer manages fiducial markers for aligning the printed sheet via camera: the cut stays precise even on already-printed materials.
Frequently asked questions about SmartComposer
What is SmartComposer?
SmartComposer is Cutlite Penta's software for laser cutting systems: it imports files, draws, optimizes paths and manages cutting, interfacing with the numerical control and the Smart Manager Plus.
Which file formats does it import?
It imports and positions .dxf, .dwg, .plt, .nc, .rnc, .dstv, .cf2, .svg, .jpg and .bmp files, and lets you edit previous jobs or create new ones.
What is nesting?
Nesting is the optimized arrangement of geometries on the sheet to make the most of the material. SmartComposer offers one of the best nesting engines on the market.
How does fiducial-marker alignment work?
SmartComposer detects fiducial markers via camera and aligns the cut to the printed sheet, for precise processing even on already-printed materials.
