BLANKNEST is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on coils. It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on coil width and pitch constraints.
Features:
- Multiple input formats – Load IGES, DXF (lines and arcs only)
- Flexible setup – Apply optional constraints to the pitch, coil width, blank rotation angle to match available equipment and product requirements
- Multiple Nesting layouts – Create fully optimized one up, two up, and standard blank shape nesting layouts
- Multi-Part Nesting – Nest two different parts or mirrored parts that are manufactured together
- Cost analysis – Accurate blank cost is calculated from inputted data and material utilization
- Interactive results – Sort results in an interactive spread sheet display by material utilization, coil width, pitch, rotation angle and translation and then click on the desired result to view the alternative nesting layouts
- Exporting – The current nesting layout can be exported in IGES or DXF format for use in other applications
- Reports – Detailed reports showing the nesting layout and calculated results can be printed
