Abstract:
1. A method for determining the cutting path for portioning three-dimensional foodstuffs in accordance with one or more predetermined three-dimensional shapes executed on a computer having a central processing unit, the method comprising: using said computer to obtain a three-dimensional model of an unportioned foodstuff corresponding to the three-dimensional shape of the unportioned foodstuff; using said means computer to compare the three-dimensional model to at least one desired predetermined three-dimensional shape of a portioned foodstuff of desired predetermined physical parameters; using said computer to compute one or more cutting paths to portion the unportioned foodstuff into the at least one desired predetermined three-dimensional shape of the portioned foodstuff to optimize the value realized from the unportioned foodstuff.
