True Shape Nesting

VCarve Pro 5 now includes True Shape Nesting that automatically arranges and fits vector shapes into a material size or user definable area, to get optimal material usage and minimum wastage.

Part Nesting is perfect for Sign and Cabinet makers who need minimize material wastage and cut as many parts – letters & cabinet doors / panels – as possible from sheet materials.

Reduce Material Costs = Increased Profits

The nesting routine places vector shapes / parts as close to each other as possible, but ensuring a sufficient gap to allow the parts to be cut out.

Nesting Options for...

• Automatic Tool Diameter compensation ensures the nested shapes can be machined without the cutter gouging adjacent parts.
• Specifying the numbers of shapes / components to be nested. Perfect for adding 'filler parts' to maximize material usage.
• Allowing part rotation and mirroring
• Fit parts inside others if sufficient space
• Nesting direction along X or Y axis
• Rectangular or user definable material shapes
• Tab / Bridge information that’s added to parts is applied to the nested results
• Automatically creates Multiple Sheets to accommodate all nested parts. With each new sheet representing a new sheet of material to be cut on the CNC machine.
• User definable border ensures shapes are not nested against the outer edge of the material.
• Layer information is retained when new copies of shapes are nested making it quick and easy to select and toolpath shapes using the layer information.
