Design Patterns in Web-Oriented Cutting Systems

Material cutting is widely used in various industries such as light, engineering, shipbuilding and other industries. Platforms of different shape are used to be cut into details. The most effective way of cutting is when the material waist is drawn to minimum. There are a lot of program solutions to automated material cutting. The major problem is that the cost of such solutions is often quite high comparing to the amount and quality of the tasks they solve. One way of solving this is the widening of functionality of the cutting system. But this immediately results in the increase of the system size and mainly of its cost. Another flaw of the existing systems is the difficulties with their upgrade and extension. When a new version is released, the customer must perform the migration to a new version by himself, which can take much time and costs.
