Inventor Nesting is used to create an optimal nest for flat components that produces a minimal amount of scrap after they are cut from the raw material.
Inventor Nesting: CAD-embedded, true-shape nesting tools
Available only as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.
What is Inventor Nesting?
Inventor® Nesting software helps you optimize yield from flat raw material. Easily compare nesting studies to optimize efficiency and reduce costs and export 3D models or DXF™ files of the completed nest for cutting path generation.
Inventor Nesting is integrated software that helps you optimize yield from flat raw material.
-
Generate multiple sheet nests in a single study, allowing for multiple material and packaging options
-
Compare the efficiency and costs associated with different nesting studies to maximize job profitability
-
Specify allowable orientations to ensure consistent grain direction on all parts when required for aesthetics or to prevent cracking in subsequent bending operations
