All construction materials like steel, aluminium, wood, PVCu and
indeed almost anything, are generally only available in a limited
number of standard stock lengths. Typically a fabricator will buy
stock lengths of various materials which are then cut into smaller
pieces for the next fabrication process. To reduce the cost of wasted
raw materials, it's necessary to produce an optimum cutting route
plan, which minimises wastage. This can be a rather awkward and
potentially wasteful process if attempted manually. And even when the
buying process has been manually calculated, the method of cutting
and parts identification still needs to be firmly pinned to the mast,
to ensure the factory uses the same route plan when the goods are
actually cut.
The Autolaunch Lineal Optimiser solves this problem, being a simple
to use stand alone optimiser. It's useful even if you have full
cad-cam systems for those oddball parts of production that your
existing computer software doesn't yet deal with.
Accurate nesting can be a complex calculation when manually
undertaken. Why not let the Autolaunch Lineal Optimiser take the
strain. And even better, it's fully functioning software that is
absolutely free- no catch - no gimmick - no registration fee - no
lets buy the next version. Like Freeserve who host this web site, it
is absolutely free with no catch.
Why is the Autolaunch Lineal Optimiser Free?
It is a rather specialist type of software that can never sell in
volume hence it's unit price is traditionally expense, perhaps
thousands of £'s. The Autolaunch Lineal Optimiser is written for
the DOS environment and runs quite happily under all versions of MS
Windows. Being a DOS application limits potential purchase, the
software is several years old, company buyers and specifiers are
liable to reject it for this alone without consideration of the
upside benefits.
Let's look at the upside
Stand alone independent optimiser without the complexity and extra
setup and difficulties encountered to integrate into other systems
Consider different stock lengths at the press of a few keys, reducing
costs at a stroke.
Quick easy on screen wastage percentages. Save money now.
Blisteringly quick, final results in under one second on screen.
No more printing followed by an error report. The Autolaunch Lineal
Optimiser includes full validation of all dimensions as they are
entered, it's a live test. You cannot ask the software to cut a 5
metre cut from a 4 metre stock length. Obvious yes, though it's
surprising how many programs only look for logical errors when it is
really too late.
Excellent speed even on old computers.
Easy to read cutting reports identifying individual components
Different cutting angles in the same optimisation by way of reference tags

No need to save job files, it's automatic
Lets take a look at a typical cutting job input screen
Everything entered for this cutting job is shown on the one screen.
No setup calculations hidden away anywhere else. What's more, all of
this can be edited anytime. Press F9 and within
a second, the report below will be on screen.
The black area shows all of the
cutting information that you have keyed into the program. The printed
version is very similar giving you a last minute opportunity to check
that the job is correct.
The first magenta band shows how
to cut the bars, identification reference, and real remnants.
The bottom band is the stock summary
The Autolaunch Lineal Optimiser stores up to 100 different sizes to
cut. Up to 17 different bars to cut per job and finally 17 different
jobs. New sub directories (folders) can be added to expand this limitlessly.

Ready to download
Autolaunch Lineal Optimiser
After the download, please click on the Open file to start the
Windows Installer. It is best to leave the default installation
folder as C:\optimise. Otherwise, the optimiser will prompt for
the full path of the file and its sub folder \jobs and sadly lacks a
Browse button to simplify this.
Note, you may stay connected to the Internet and leave other programs
running whilst the program is installed. This installation process
will add an icon to your desktop, as well as a menu item to Start -
Programs which also includes an Uninstaller.
And a final point worth mentioning. It is a DOS program and as such,
does not have the kind of support for printers that Windows offers.
By default the software is configured to work with Hewlett Packard
printers. If your printer is anything else, then change the Printer
driver from Personal Preferences to Generic printer. In the unlikely
event that both do not work well than I'm afraid it's back to the web
sites for the printer supplier, to search the printer control codes
for a few printer functions. If you have problems here, please use
