Key New Features in ProNest 2025

Industry 4.0 & Data Integration

 
 
Feature Description
Tekla PowerFab Connector Optional module enabling seamless, bi-directional data exchange between ProNest and Tekla PowerFab via API; improves inventory management and reduces manual data entry
PowerFab Inventory Visibility View details about PowerFab inventory or requisitions used for nests directly in ProNest; improve material traceability
ProNest Server Web App Search jobs by Reference, Remarks, and custom fields; enhanced job tracking across teams
Data Sync 64-bit Data Sync now runs as 64-bit application for improved performance with large datasets

CAD & Workflow Enhancements

 
 
Feature Description
Job Auto Recovery Automatically saves recovery files during hardware/software failures; restore work-in-progress on next launch
Library Parts Updates Automatic checking and updating to latest revisions when opening jobs or templates
Creo Parametric Support New plug-in support for Creo versions 9 and 10
Small Entity Detection Identifies motions smaller than kerf width or specified length; prevents machine errors and poor cut quality
Peddinghaus HSFDB Integration Integrated secondary post processor; apply tooling and plasma applications (True Bevel, SureCut, True Hole) directly in ProNest

Cutting & Nesting Improvements

 
 
Feature Description
Collision Avoidance Now included by default in ProNest LT for OMAX waterjet setups; optimizes cut paths to prevent head collisions with tilted parts
Crop Line Enhancements Multiple crop lines per nest; cut empty plates, change cutting direction, apply XY coordinates
Machine Home Movement Improved remnant handling; moves home position to corners on irregular remnants
Laser Film Vaporization Settings improvements for laser machines supporting protective film vaporization
Corner Rounding Angle Threshold Set minimum angle threshold for corner rounding in Cutting Techniques spreadsheet
Center of Gravity on Nest New Reports option displays center of gravity on skeleton after cutting
