Machining Video: Advanced Common Line Cutting and Nesting Function from Fabricam Sheet Metal CNC Cutting Software
Fabricam is equipped with features that let you perform nesting tasks both automatically and manually (or could be a combination of the two). It doesn't end here.
Manual nesting for dissimilar components is often performed by dragging and dropping parts on the nest. Unless the operator is very skilled, this process can lead to a significant material waste, and in any case is invariably a very slow process. Because of this, a plenty fabricators have resorted to producing so called ‘static’ nests, which were created manually and are regularly re-used. The problem with this is that all of the parts will be produced each time a particular nest is run on the machine, regardless of whether they are all needed or not. You don't want that, do you?
‘Dynamic automatic nesting’ on the other hand allows for unique nests to be created as and when required, providing a ‘Just In Time’ approach whilst retaining high material efficiency. This of course is especially important when processing expensive materials.
Fabricam is not just a mere CAM system. It instead allows you to also consider whether common line cutting should be used between parts on the nest or a sheet ‘skeleton’ between parts will be left. There is a number of considerations dictating this, such as the price of material, sheet thickness and its resulting integrity, machine technology in use (moving or stationary sheet), etc.
