YINGFENG · APPLICATIONS
Explore YingFeng by production need
Follow the drawing, nesting and job-planning workflows relevant to your parts and machines.
01
Connect drawings, nesting and multi-head cutting
When drawings, quantities and machine settings are handled separately, a compact layout may still be impossible to cut. Shared rails, head travel, physical spacing and tool processes need to be checked together.
↗02Nest actual contours and inspect the result
Open outlines, incorrect dimensions or missing group members affect nesting. Repair the drawing, then recognize and save useful manually placed groups for later complete-group reuse and remaining single parts.
↗03Review material use and cutting time together
Rapid travel, waiting, tool lift and lowering, curve speed and head coordination all affect cutting time. Material utilization alone misses batch counts and actual process conditions.
↗04Match the head count to your parts and rails
Large regular parts, different contours or narrow gaps can restrict parallel work. Non-cutting heads remain physical objects and need reachable parking positions and avoidance checks.
↗05Prepare your first job one step at a time
An import, a visible layout or a Send click does not by itself prove correct dimensions, valid routes or a saved host job. Review the current result and actual receipts at each step.
↗mCAD · Compare quantity, time and executable motion together
Test your actual parts before choosing a head count
Download mCAD and create separate projects with the real dimensions of your regular parts. Compare machine models and head counts with the same sheet, requested quantities, spacing and allowed angles.
- 01
Import regular drawings or draw at actual millimetre dimensions; check closed outlines and internal holes or slots.
- 02
Create a separate project for each machine configuration and set sheet size, physical head count, participating heads, margins and spacing.
- 03
Nest the same parts by quantity or fill-sheet mode; record actual nested counts and inspect head assignments.
- 04
Pass each project’s safety check and generate dynamic toolpaths; compare estimated time, parallel head use, waiting and rapid travel.
- 05
Review shared-rail, physical head spacing and actual travel constraints, then compare additional heads with a lower head count.
Compare quantity, time and executable motion together
A denser layout or more heads alone cannot prove faster cutting. Compare successfully planned current results with confirmed material thickness, tools, speed mode, shared rail and travel limits.
Doubling the head count does not guarantee double productivity. If large regular parts cannot synchronize within shared-axis and safety-spacing constraints, fewer heads may suit them better. Standalone estimates support comparison; machine selection still requires actual parameters and test cuts.

Guidance that opens real tools
Move from drawing and nesting to machine connection, homing, task planning and production monitoring.
01Learn the way you nest
Save a manually arranged multi-part combination. Reuse eligible combinations first for sheet filling and quantity-based nesting.
02Preview paths and timing
After layout checks and successful planning with current parameters, inspect head assignments, toolpaths and estimates; review the current process and production task plan.
03Organize continuous production
Save tasks, completed quantities and progress for restart recovery. Prepare separate projects for different machines.
04Connect material, blade and Z
Recall 200 material/process speed presets and use thickness, blade, depth and independent head Z work points.
05Coordinate heads with constraints
Prioritize parallel cutting within shared-rail, travel and clearance rules. Check nesting and plan paths with current parameters.
06TURN EXPERIENCE INTO A REUSABLE STARTArrange a combination.
Arrange a combination.
Keep a good method.
Irregular parts need more than individual placement. Learn the arrangement you prefer, then match part features and reuse it within sheet, quantity and machine constraints.
- 01Arrange the combination
- 02Recognize and learn
- 03Reuse combinations first
- 04Fill the remaining space
View part and nesting images of your own strategies and delete them. Other users’ server strategies follow server state.

BUILT FOR MANUFACTURERS AND SERVICEA head has a fault.
A head has a fault.
Replan the remaining heads.
A W-axis or tool fault may allow that head to be isolated after the operator confirms Z is safely raised. Replan and validate the healthy heads. Z is a critical safety axis: an unresolved Z fault requires stopping and repair. Retain records to help service teams prioritize support.
- 01Inspect real servo and I/O status
- 02Disable the affected head
- 03Replan remaining heads
- 04Record the fault for service
