Focuses strictly on getting the highest possible yield from every board.
It is designed specifically to maximize material yield, reduce programming time, and manage offcuts efficiently.
is a robust solution for manufacturers who cut high volumes of irregular shapes and want to aggressively reduce material waste. It removes the manual calculation from the nesting process and creates a closed loop between your material warehouse and your CNC machine.
We have all seen it: An operator manually arranging rectangles on a sheet, trying to squeeze out one more part. That method is dead.
Optiplanning does more than just cut full sheets; it manages your inventory. The software tracks remaining offcuts (reusable scrap) from previous jobs and prioritizes them for future cutting lists. This ensures that expensive materials are fully utilized before new sheets are pulled from storage. Seamless Machine Integration biesse optiplanning software

Before sending the data to the machine, Optiplanning provides a visual layout of the sheets and simulates the cutting path. It outputs precise statistics, including total yield percentage, estimated cycle time, and exact cost breakdowns.
Pro Tip: Biesse also offers "Remote Assistance." Technicians can dial into your Optiplanning computer (with permission) to fix a corrupt tool library or adjust post-processor settings in real-time.
Ready to evaluate Biesse OptiPlanning for your shop? Contact your local Biesse distributor for a "Material Savings Audit." Bring your six most common cutting lists. They will run them through OptiPlanning versus your current method and show you the exact sheet savings—usually within 24 hours. Focuses strictly on getting the highest possible yield
OptiPlanning is designed to maximize hardware characteristics of modern multiprocessor PCs to ensure fast execution. For shop-floor operations, it integrates with features like systems on Selco beam saws, which use LED patterns to guide operators through the cutting process, reducing errors in piece positioning. b_opti - Biesse
: Often referred to as the successor or modern evolution of the classic OptiPlanning, it features a more contemporary, user-friendly interface while maintaining the core Biesse optimization algorithms. Key Features for Users
Let’s be honest: Your Biesse CNC router is a beast of precision. But if you are still feeding it manually optimized programs or relying on old-school CAD/CAM workarounds, you are leaving money on the floor—literally.
Biesse Optiplanning software is an essential tool for any manufacturing facility looking to improve its panel cutting operations. By combining intelligent optimization algorithms with deep machine integration, it addresses the core manufacturing challenges of material waste, operational speed, and process reliability. Investing in Optiplanning helps businesses optimize both materials and profitability. It removes the manual calculation from the nesting
: Users can expect to save up to 10% in material costs and 20% in production costs by optimizing sectioning times and reducing offcuts.
Optiplanning sits in the middle of the Biesse ecosystem:
Higher-tier versions feature a materials store that archives available panels, remains, and laminates. These stocks can be updated automatically through imports and exported in CSV or XML formats. Operational Tools
In modern woodworking and manufacturing, material waste directly cuts into profit margins. For operations utilizing horizontal beam saws, maximizing yield while minimizing processing time is a constant challenge. This is where comes into play. As a premier cutting optimization software, Optiplanning is designed to streamline the panel-cutting process, transform complex cutting lists into high-efficiency patterns, and significantly reduce operational costs.
A favorite feature for shop floor managers is the Optiplanning Viewer. This simulation tool allows operators to see a 3D rendering of the machining process. It flags potential collisions (e.g., a clamp zone vs. a tool path) before the job runs, saving thousands of dollars in potential spindle crashes.
