Interactive Nesting

The SMP/IS Interactive Nesting routine gives you total control over part placement. It allows you to interactively create nests of parts and then treat that nest as a single entity within the program. Any number of parts may be placed on an individual blank. The nest may contain any quantity of one specific part, many different parts, or all of the parts required for an assembly.

NestMaster®

NestMaster® true-shape nesting is designed to nest sheet metal parts, maximize material utilization, increase productivity, and decrease turnaround time. The program reads a list of programmed parts, analyzes the real geometry of each part, and nests them together on blank material stock. NestMaster® can read in a comma-delimited ASCII file to generate a list of parts to nest. This file can be created by an MRP/ERP system or any other software. NestMaster® has been specifically designed to run your punch machines, cutting machines, or combination machines.
