Inventor Sheet Metal Nesting

Optimize use of raw materials while boosting throughput.

Inventor sheet metal nesting. Sheet metal files containing flat patterns a simple sketch or an extrusion inventor solids that have a planar flat face so that inventor nesting can determine the projection direction which is the normal of the flat face inventor composites that have a planar flat face non native files such as stl step and so on saved as ipt. Inventor nesting helps you optimize yield from flat raw material. Inventor nesting supports nesting of these file types. Inventor assemblies containing sheet metal parts component parts and part with sketches can be used as a source by the nesting utility.

In inventor click file new to open the create new file dialog box. Inventor nesting automatically extracts the information in the file to shapes for nesting. Easily compare nesting studies to optimize efficiency and reduce costs and export 3d models or dxf files of the completed nest for cutting path generation. The inventor nesting utility adds a much needed process to the sheet metal workflow that will save time materials and increase the efficiency for companies that process sheet metal flat components.

Autodesk inventor nesting is cad embedded sheet metal nesting software that helps optimize yield from flat raw material. Work with composites wood plastics glass sheet metal cloth and leather. These must also have a planar flat face non native files are supported as of the 20. As long as the sheet metal part has a developed flat pattern and each part has a designated sketch or extrusion to be used for nesting the nesting process will be successful.
