AutoNEST FX – Computer-aided Plate Nesting
Compatible with AutoCAD & BricsCAD
AutoNEST FX V9 incorporates one single powerful nesting engine – NestPRO that maximizes stock usage and minimizes wastage. It is an essential and efficient tool for material requirements planning and cutting plans production. The software can run as an independent Windows application or as an integrated AutoCAD/BrisCAD solution to handle a variety of nesting applications for Laser, Flame, Routing, Punching, Wire cutting, etc.
Features at a Glance
Automatic sorting of Parts according to Material and Thickness
Able to import material or stock files
Fully integrated with FabTrol, steel fabrication system
Cutting Plans and Reports (Excel, text & XML)
User-customizable title-block template
Link to NC software via DXF files
Support both Metric & English units
Nesting Engine
• Resume-Nest or Continue-Nest
• Irregular stock nesting – includes mark-outs
