analyse_dxf_for_cutting
Analyse a DXF for laser, plasma or waterjet cutting
Reads a flat 2D DXF (text DXF, as exported by AutoCAD, Fusion, Inventor and most CAD) and returns the parts, cut length, number of pierces and drawing problems (duplicate lines, open contours, near-miss gaps, holes smaller than the thickness). With a cutting speed it also returns the cutting time per part, including acceleration and pierces; with pricing it returns a price. Sheet nesting is not included.
