RhinoCAM-NEST is a separately priced module within the RhinoCAM suite, designed to provide optimal nesting solutions for geometric shapes on sheets of stock material. It includes two primary nesting capabilities: Rectangular Nesting and True Shape Nesting. RhinoCAM-NEST allows users to arrange individual 2D CAD shapes on sheets according to user-defined quantities, spacing, editing, modeling, and orientation control, including material grain restrictions. This module is included free in all configurations of RhinoCAM-MILL.

Features

• Rectangular Nesting: Sometimes referred to as 'block' nesting, this method arranges shapes in a rectangular pattern.
• True Shape Nesting: Allows for more complex arrangements of shapes, optimizing the use of material.
• User Interface: Features a wizard interface with preview before output.
• Global Parameters: Includes distance limits between part and sheet, distance limits between two adjacent parts, and accuracy of nesting.
• Sheet Parameters: Allows for sheet start corner, nesting direction, grain direction, unlimited number of sheets, and sheet layering by color.
• Part Parameters: Includes distance limits between part and part, rotation limits, mirroring, island recognition, and part-in-part nesting.
• Output Parameters: Provides estimation of the number of sheets needed for nest, overflow utilization, and tagging of nests.

Benefits

• Enhanced Efficiency: Optimize material usage by arranging shapes in the most efficient manner.
• Improved Accuracy: Ensure precise nesting with advanced global and part parameters.
• Versatile Capabilities: Handle a wide range of nesting operations, from simple rectangular nesting to complex true shape nesting.
• Custom Design Flexibility: Create intricate and custom nesting designs with the advanced part parameters.
• Seamless Integration: Enjoy a fully integrated solution that works seamlessly within the RhinoCAM suite.
