Geometric NestingWorks 2017 SP1.0 for solidworks Geometric Ltd., a global leader in 3D CNC machining software, announced the release of NESTINGWorks 2017 3D nesting software for automatically nesting layouts of SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies for production. This 3D nesting application is seamlessly integrated within SOLIDWORKS software, enabling automated nesting of flat or 3D part or assembly models made from sheet stock, including sheet metal, plates, plastics, composites, or wood. The newest 3D design tool in the SOLIDWORKS environment to help optimize material designs TRUE SHAPE NESTING Orient parts true to shape, to optimize how parts can fit on a shape. Many simple nesting tools just draw a box around a part and nest the box, wasting valuable material. PART-IN-PART NESTING Enables the ability to maximize material usage by fitting smaller parts in open areas and cutouts on larger parts of the same thickness. AUTO LAYOUT OF PARTS OF VARYING THICKNESS Many assemblies have parts of various thicknesses that need to be nested. NESTINGWorks can sort the parts in an assembly and automatically group and nest parts of the same thickness ASSOCIATIVITY WITH SOLIDWORKS As your design changes, any NESTINGWorks layouts will update. Also compatible with downstream manufacturing tools.
