SigmaNEST is a CAD/CAM nesting software system for sheet metal fabrication and profile cutting. It offers nesting and NC programming for laser cutting, plasma cutting, abrasive waterjet, flame cutting, turret punch press, routers and knife cutters. SigmaNEST Version 9 brings enhancements to its already powerful nesting and order/production management solution but with the goal of SIMPLIFYING the process to help you work faster and more efficiently. The new SigmaNEST user interface provides a menu ribbon - similar to Windows® - providing easier action direction. New part/sheet fill color combinations allows for better visualizing and distinguishing parts. New, more intuitive icons and the "Quick Find" and "Feature Tree" functionality means fewer clicks to complete an action. Automatic pop up menus for part move and copy, along with auto save parts on exit means faster work with assured accuracy. Version 9 increases the speed for importing solid CAD files, as well as the speed for graphic resolution.
