NESTINGWorks automatically nests layouts of SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies for production. This new 3D nesting application is seamlessly integrated within SOLIDWORKS 2016 software, enabling automated nesting of flat or 3D part or assembly models made from sheet stock, including sheet metal, plates, plastics, composites, or wood.

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
