What is profile cutting?
Profile cutting is the machine operation of cutting small parts from a bigger sheet metal. Usually the the profile cutting is performed by laser, plasma, water jet automated CNC machines. Usually when we speak about profile cutting, we are referring to 2D geometries. This differs the machining operation from 3D machining. However you can used a 3D cutter to produce bi dimensional parts. The layout of the parts to be cut on the sheet metal is usually optimized using nesting pr
