Method and automated system for analizing a surface area to provide a detailed material specification for fitting and cutting material to be disposed on the analized surface area

摘要

A system is disclosed employing a programmable computer system for preparing a detailed material cutting specification for cutting material and fitting the cut material into a given area. The system includes means for defining dimensions of the given area by inputting information regarding the dimensions of the given area to the programmable computer system and means for defining at least one dimension of the material by inputting information regarding the materials to the programmable computer system. The system further includes means for analyzing the dimensions of the given area as a function of the at least one dimension of the material to identify the placement of strips of the material and material fillers used in covering the given area with the material. The analyzed dimensions are reported to the user as a list indicating the quantity of material needed to cover the given area and a visual display of the material layout within the given area. A method for accomplishing the present system is also provided.
