Efficient and Intelligent Design with NestingWorks
NESTINGWorks 3D design tool to help optimize sheet metal and flat stock designs as well as support the transition from design to manufacturing for sheet metal in the SOLIDWORKS environment
Features
- Ability to specify grain direction.
- Part-in-part nesting.
- Full associativity with SOLIDWORKS software. Updates are tracked, and flagged whenever a change is made to the component and are reflected instantly.
- Automatically nests multiple parts, based on the material and thickness, thus eliminating the manual effort of segregating individual parts.
- Material optimization: advanced nesting algorithms reduce raw material consumption by providing optimized and compact layouts
Benefits
- Designers can optimize designs from material usage early in the design cycle
- Seemless transfer of 3D design information to manufacturing
- Reduce cost through advanced nesting capability like part in part nesting
