Abstract
A system for generating a G-code for controlling an operation of a laser-cutting machine to cut parts from a sheet of material, upon receiving cutting data specifying a cutting order of parts and a cutting order of edges of each part, tests the parts for potential distortions and generates a G-code to avoid the potential distortion. For testing a current part, the system detects a potential distortion when the final edge of the current part is adjacent to an edge of a previously cut part scheduled for cutting before the current part according to the cutting order of parts. The system modifies the cutting order to select the modified cutting order for which the final edge is not adjacent to any edge of any previously cut part.
