SolidNEST Punch

SolidNEST Punch is an automatic nesting, NC, and tool sequencing solution that runs seamlessly integrated inside SolidWorks. It offers advanced automation for punch press and turret machines, as well as the following nesting options:

  • Advanced True Shape nesting, to maximize sheet output.
  • Automatic nesting of parts between and under clamps resolved through repositioning.
  • Nesting for common line cutting.
  • Multiple nesting algorithms to ensure optimal nesting for all part-types.

 

 


Features

  • Step-by-step wizard inside the familiar SolidWorks interface
  • Advanced automatic nesting without leaving SolidWorks
  • Automatic NC toolpath generation and optimized tool sequencing
  • Sheet metal parts unfolded automatically
  • Supports user definable special tools
  • Effortless report generation
  • Remnant nesting and sheet library control

 


Advantages

  • Effortless NC programming in SolidWorks
  • Most powerful nesting algorithms
  • Simply refresh nest to reflect design revisions
  • One software programs various types of machines
  • Punch tool sequence optimization
  • Open architecture in post processors producing compact sub-routine code
  • Automatic repositioning and clamp avoidance
  • Best sheet selection

 


Benefits

  • Minimize production time
  • Using one application for multiple machines streamlines production and reduces programmer training time
  • Changes to design are easily updated in nest without importing/exporting design revisions
