SWOOD Nesting is a software solution designed for automatic panel optimization specifically for CNC woodworking machines. It allows users to achieve precise panel layouts on boards, accommodating requirements such as specific grain directions, minimizing waste material, and enabling manual manipulation of panels to suit individual needs. The software integrates directly within SOLIDWORKS, providing a seamless workflow for designers and manufacturers. Key capabilities include automatic nesting features for efficient component generation, optimization strategies, and the ability to manually control and modify nested outputs. SWOOD Nesting maximizes machine utilization by allowing multiple projects to be nested simultaneously while considering critical factors like grain direction. It also offers features for batch exporting programs and manufacturing documents, panel labeling, and reporting, alongside a board and size library management system.
