If there's one thing you should prioritize when adding value to your waterjet machine, it’s a great nesting software. Why? Any improvement in material utilization will save you both time and money.
Auto nest
Nest like no other
Every percentage point of improved material utilization translates directly into reduced waste costs and increased throughput. Why settle for standard layouts when intelligent nesting can deliver superior results, faster cutting times, and maximum return on your material investment? Upgrade your nesting software and watch your profits grow.
Nesting features:
- Nests both 2D & 3D parts.
- Any part quantity.
- Nest different shapes on same sheet.
- Nest parts inside parts inside parts inside parts..
- Common cutline.
- Nest parts with priority.
- Multiple cutting heads.
- Multiple sheets.
We can go on, but let's look at three specific examples.
The following comparisons are done with one of our largest industry colleagues from the US. We feel that's relevant because it is a user base which could benefit a great deal by switching to IGEMS CAD/CAM. All nest comparisons are done with the same part distance.
Multi part nest
53% utilization
69% utilization
This example is using the same 25 parts with the same minimal part distance. By using Auto nest, on the right side, you will save 16% of your material. A great example of creating value from our nesting.
Same shape nest
71 parts, 68% utilization
81 parts, 78% utilization
Here we wanted to fill the sheet with as many circles as possible. And by using IGEMS Auto nest you can squeeze in 10 more parts on your sheet with a 10% increased utilization.
Let's just play with the numbers in the example above and calculate what this could mean for a whole year.
7 sheets/day.
200 days/year.
10 parts * 10 sheets * 200 days = 14000 more parts nested/year.
Saves 172 sheets per year.
Box utilization
47% box utilization
83% box utilization
Nesting is not always just getting the most out of the nest we're currently making. It's also leaving a remnant sheet in the best possible condition for the next nest operation.
By using our Auto nest we can easily control the layout of the remant sheet, which in this case would be a nice square shaped sheet. Easy to use next time we want to nest something on the same sheet.
