Abstract

See full text

A method for identifying the cutting pattern for pieces of wood such as logs comprises the following operating steps: obtaining a virtual three-dimensional model (1) of the density of the piece of wood; selecting a possible first virtual cutting pattern (4) for the piece of wood which may allow one or more semi-finished products (3) to be obtained from the piece of wood; applying virtually the first virtual cutting pattern (4) to the three-dimensional model (1) of the piece of wood, to obtain one or more virtual semi-finished products (3); virtually associating with the virtual semi-finished products (3), the corresponding density identified on the basis of the three-dimensional model (1); processing, for each virtual semi-finished product (3), an estimate of its mechanical properties based on its density; repeating the selection, application, association and processing steps for a plurality of different possible cutting patterns (4); comparing the estimates regarding the mechanical properties of the virtual semi-finished products (3) which can be obtained with the different cutting patterns (4) and, based on this comparison, choosing the actual cutting pattern (4).
