Super easy to use
No time or desire to master complex software?
No worries. Shape Central is intuitive and straightforward.
All buttons are clearly labeled, and you have everything you need right at your fingertips. We also have simple instructional videos available for you.
Cut What You Want
Shape Central contains over 400,000 digitized patterns of various objects at a 1:1 scale. Search for what you need, select it, and start cutting.
Do What You Want
Simply choose the part you need and drag it to the cutting surface. That’s it! Press ‘cut,’ and you can get started right away. Want to rotate, enlarge, shrink, adjust lines, or draw something yourself? No problem! With Shape Central, you can do it all quickly and easily.
Import Your Own Patterns
Want to use your own design? You can easily do that. Save your work in .svg format and import it effortlessly into Shape Central.
Groups and Colors
Shape Central makes it even easier by categorizing parts with colors. Left, right, bumper, front, and so on each have their own color. This allows you to instantly see which part belongs where, even with complex nesting tasks. The colors help you organize and position parts in the cutting area.
Pattern Sharing
Want to share a pattern with another Shape Central user so they can cut it? No problem at all. With just one click of the ‘share’ button, you can share the pattern. You remain the administrator of the pattern and can revoke access at any time with a single click. This way, you always maintain control. Convenient!
More Control Over the Process
You even have the option to set your own preferences:
- Stel de afstand tussen de onderdelen in millimeters in.
- Bepaal of onderdelen volledig mogen worden gedraaid,
of slechts een beetje (in graden). Dit is vooral handig bij het
snijden van raamfolie die je later nog moet krimpen. - Werk in segmenten: je kunt zelf de maximale plotlengte
instellen. Wanneer bijvoorbeeld de totale lengte 9 meter is,
maar je wilt dat de plot niet langer is dan 3 meter, dan verdeelt
Shape Central dit in drie segmenten van 3 meter.
Super Nesting
Perfect for those who want to save as much film as possible while cutting. With the Super Nesting function, Shape Central arranges all parts as efficiently as possible, leaving minimal empty spaces. It’s almost impossible to cut more efficiently than this!
