Optimize cutting patterns, saving time and material costs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[vc_column][vc_column_text]With Solid Edge 2D Nesting, generate optimized layouts for the two-dimensional cutting of fabrication materials, including sheet metal, plastic, wood, fabric and textiles. 2D Nesting saves fabricators time and money by allowing them to manage material use more effectively.<\/p>\n
The process of 2D nesting, or the organization of 2D shapes efficiently on a single cutting plane, is much like processes dressmakers have used for decades. The optimized nesting patterns, created using a next-generation nesting algorithm, markedly reduce preparation time, waste and costs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Capabilities<\/p>\n
From start to finish, 2D Nesting makes creating optimized nests quick and easy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=“yes“][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″][vc_single_image image=“17539″ img_size=“medium“ alignment=“center“ css=“.vc_custom_1560147312612{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}“][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Control all settings needed to meet the demands of any cutting technology or material, easily select part quantities, sheet sizes and part rotation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″][vc_single_image image=“17553″ img_size=“medium“ alignment=“center“ css=“.vc_custom_1560147387982{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}“][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Launch directly from Solid Edge with a single click. Selecting parts to import for nesting is quick and easy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″][vc_single_image image=“17566″ img_size=“medium“ alignment=“center“ css=“.vc_custom_1560147402713{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}“][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
2D Nesting supports Solid Edge sheet metal and part files (PSM and PAR), as well as neutral data formats including DXF and DWG, automatically extracting flat pattern data.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Select multiple sheet sizes to create the most efficient nest, eliminating tailings, or partial sheets. These tailings often result in wasted material, as the odd leftover sheets take up valuable shop space and often go unused.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The nests can be sent to Solid Edge CAM Pro or exported to another computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system for computer numerical control (CNC) programming.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
An integrated round trip within the Solid Edge environment saves time and avoids data translation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
