ProNest Automatic Nesting Modules are algorithms specially designed to counteract the negative impact of rising labor rates and material costs by helping to reduce programming time and improve material utilization. With a single click of the mouse, users can transfer the entire parts list to the desired material in seconds, creating highly efficient nests that might take hours to create if programmed manually. Since everyone’s requirements are unique, various nesting strategies have been formulated to suit specific needs. By selecting the Automatic Nesting module(s) most suitable for a given application, material savings will be realized, potentially reaching in to the hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, based on volume processed.

Pattern Array
Automatically develops a pattern of selected part(s) that maximizes the plate area by calculating an optimal spacing and orientation.

Advanced Rectangular Nesting
Nesting algorithm looks at only the rectangular region of the part during automatic nesting.

Advanced True Shape Nesting
Nesting algorithm looks at the true (actual) shape of the part during automatic nesting. This allows the nesting of parts within parts.
