True Nesting

A great advantage to using CAD/CAM design software for CNC machines is the ability to true nest shapes. True nesting allows for each design object to be defined and analyzed. Objects have several input parameters. Some of these include rotation, grain direction where applicable and cutter head tolerance. Then, the user can specify the number of parts and stock size and true nesting software will lay out the parts to the highest machine performance and maximum material yield. True nesting is used for a variety of different applications and parts form kitchen cabinets and air duct manufacturing to automotive components.
