CNC Nesting Software
What is the definition of CNC Nesting Software?
Nesting Software is used to optimally fit many different manufacturing parts to a single sheet of raw material. Optimal means that you get the parts you want in exact quantities, at the lowest possible cost; lowest cost includes material efficiency, machine efficiency, schedule adherence, order completion and all other cost considerations.
In general terms, nesting software automatically and efficiently arranges the required quantities of individual parts to be produced on sheets or plates of stock material. It does this by using part geometry from CAD files to output CNC code that controls a cutting machine.
Optimation® Nesting Software creates automatic CNC nests and CNC part programs for all CNC turret punch, laser, plasma, router, waterjet, and knife fabrication. No other nesting software serves the breath or depth of fabrication tools as Optimation nesting software.
Turn to us to reduce material costs, improve labor efficiencies, increase throughput and lower overhead with CNC nesting software - a tool for lean manufacturing. Learn why we have the only expert system that optimizes all your fabrication costs.
