PROGNEST is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on progressive die strips. It automatically calculates the best progressive nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on coil width and pitch, and other constraints.
Features:
- Produces fully optimized nesting layouts for 1-up, 2-up, and mirrored progressive die configurations
- Constrains progression, coil width, and blank rotation to ensure the layout is compatible with manufacturing equipment
- Calculates accurate cost per blank based on supplied input data and material utilization
- Material cost calculation considers variations in thickness and coil width
- Detailed documentation system produces HTML format reports
- User input for distance between blanks, distance to edge of coil, carrier allowance and carrier width
