Part creation and development:

• Integrated 2D to create and edit CAD files
• Variable shaped parts (VSP) feature to develop common parts from CAD program templates.

CAD/CAM import and conversion :

• Import CAD and CNC files (many industry standard file formats) automatic CAD file correction and error reporting.
• Automatic groove/ellipse polishing and shrinking.
• Separating multiple parts from a single CAD file.
• Automatic mapping of CAD sheets with operations (cutting, marking, etc.).

Interactive manual nesting :

• Group parts in clusters for placement.
• Drag, drop and push parts on the slot.
• Repeat, move, scale, mirror, rotate or sequence parts, prohibit/allow placing them within a part.
• multi-plate and multi-head placement.
• Fragment blending detection.
• Arrangement of input/output position and features within the slot.
• Grain restraining and edge drilling technology.
• Material database (with quality and scale).
• Manual and automatic plate trimming.
• Protected zones for plate clamping applications.
• Automatic and manual nesting sequencing.
• Part-by-part cut direction control and cut sequencing.
• Animated cut sequence simulation.

Built-in process parameters :

• Process parameters on the basis of material type, thickness, quality and class.
• Input/output parameters based on material type and thickness.
• Automatic and interactive separations for part, plate and drilling spacing.
