Layouts
Handling packed sheets efficiently with ease. Layouts are generated from the MetaCAM nesting engine or can be composed interactively from existing parts. Automatic guidelines help compose layouts with precise bridge widths between parts.
Benefits
Dock Features, Free Hand Nesting to manually nest parts on a sheet.
Rotate, Mirror, Move Parts to optimize sheet utilization.
Optimized Sequence for Tool hits and Cut Path at a sheet level.
Slice Sheets up to reuse Remnants or chop sheets into smaller pieces.
Generate Graphical Reports and NC code to run sheets on the floor
Parts
can be arrayed across the sheet, and edge tooling of adjacent parts can
be merged for common-line punching.
An interactive freehand nesting function allows for nesting of complex,
irregular parts interactively, automatically providing a constant bridge
between adjacent parts.
Powerful Layout Sequencer
The
powerful layout sequencer has several optimization switches to minimize
machine run time, and the graphical sequence review table can be used
to easily edit the sequence of the most complex of layouts.
