AutoNEST – Single Powerful Nesting Engine – NESTPRO
Compatible with AutoCAD and BricsCAD
AutoNEST is a computer-aided nesting software for the optimal use of stock sheet materials. The application is suitable in shipbuilding, heavy engineering, synthetic leather/fabric goods and furniture manufacture. AutoNEST is the solution to quick raw material estimation for purchasing requirements and shopfloor cutting plans. With automatic generation of nested layouts, AutoNEST reduces man-hours and maximizes stock material usage in different manufacturing conditions. AutoNEST’s open architecture provides an easy link to other NC /CAM softwares.
AutoNEST V9 incorporates one single powerful nesting engine – NestPRO that maximizes stock usage and minimizes wastage. It is an extremely efficient and valuable tool for material requirements planning and cutting plans production. The software can run as an independent Windows application or as an integrated AutoCAD/BricsCAD solution to handle a variety of nesting applications for Laser, Flame, Routing, Punching, Wire cutting, etc.
Features at a Glance
Nesting based on best yield or lowest cost
• auto-selection of multi-sheets
Nesting with mininum Layouts
• max-repeat nested patterns
Auto & interactive Bridging for nested parts
• continuous cutting & reduce cutting time
Regular/Irregular sheet nesting
• remnant sheets with / without mark-outs
Shear-cutting Nesting
• coil-sheet supported
Multiple levels of Parts-In-Part
• user-defined max. no. of carts per sheet
Parts can be in DWG /DXF formats or rectangles
• cluster-parts supported
Excel, text and XML nesting reports
• support both Metric and Imperial units
Size / Geometry Mix
AutoNEST supports TRUE SHAPE nesting. A variety of shapes, sizes and geometry are nested simultaneously onto the same stock sheet.
Multi-level Nesting
AutoNEST is able to nest one or more smaller parts within the cut-out of a bigger part.
Shear-Cutting
AutoNEST has incorporated Shear-cutting into its engine. Once the Shear-blade limit is specified, the nested results will display well-defined shear cut-lines and auto-numbering of cut sequence.
Circle Parts-In-Part (PIP) Nesting
Multiple levels of Parts-in-Part to maximize utilization
Skeleton Nesting
Nesting circular rings into Skeleton stock sheet
Nesting Control
AutoNEST provides a variety of controls to match different cutting machines and working conditions. These nesting controls include Nest Start Point, Packing Direction, Best Yield, Shear-Nest /Cutting, Cart-Control (Part Priority control), Single Part Nest Control and other nesting options.
Minimum System Requirements
– 3.1 GHz Processor (64-bit)
– 4 GB RAM
– USB port for dongle
– MS Windows 7 ~ Windows 11
– CAD software that reads DXF files
– AutoCAD 2010 – 2022 or BricsCAD V21 or higher (optional)
