Purpose

The Nesting System is a tool for nesting plate parts and for creating information relevant to the nesting work.

The plate parts to be nested are usually supplied by other subsystems but can be created and modified within the Nesting System. With the system, parts are nested on a parent plate and the tool path is defined creating a generic file to be used as input to a suitable postprocessor. Optionally, a shop drawing (burning sketch) can be created and printed.
