Why discuss your system with CHISI?

Plan the cut.
Review the installation workflow.

Results depend on the vehicle, pattern, film coverage and installation method. Validate the pattern and equipment settings for the job.

Assess material use

Nesting can improve the layout; actual utilization depends on the pattern set and roll dimensions.

Prepare the installation

Use prepared panel shapes to plan installation around the vehicle and your team’s workflow.

Reduce blade-on-paint work

Suitable patterns can reduce direct cutting on a vehicle; fitment and safe working practices still need checking.

Review disassembly needs

Check the prepared shapes against the vehicle and installation plan before deciding which parts need removal.

Software workflow

From pattern file
to cutting preparation.

Select the vehicle, edit the panels, nest the roll and output the cutting job in one Windows PC application. The software interface is English only. Check the PC requirements and the connection for your machine before purchase.

  1. 01

    Edit the pattern

    Edit the vehicle file before cutting: move, add or delete nodes, offset local edges, and rotate, resize or remove handle openings. Check the edited pattern against the selected vehicle.

  2. 02

    Nest the roll

    AI-assisted nesting arranges panels on the film, compares the layout with the original and reports material utilization. Evaluate the result using your own patterns and roll dimensions.

  3. 03

    Cut and separate

    Review the double-cutting-line function with the chosen machine and film. Separation, weeding and installation readiness depend on the pattern, blade settings and material.

Vehicle pattern library

Confirm the exact brands, models, years and body variants you need. New-model availability and release dates require current confirmation.

Node editing

Move, add or delete nodes to adjust the panel pattern.

Local edge expansion

Discuss the available offset range and confirm the edited pattern against the vehicle.

Handle-opening editing

Rotate, resize or remove handle openings in the pattern.

Color zoning

Identify parts by color and compare them with the vehicle photos displayed alongside.

Part-name layout

View the panel layout with part names and synchronized selection on a 3D model.

Dense nesting

Dense nesting supports up to 41 components on one roll. The actual layout and material use depend on the pattern set, roll dimensions and spacing.

Double cutting line

Use two cutting passes to separate the part from the waste. Check the result with the selected machine, film and blade settings.
