Nesting CAM
 MetaCAM's nesting engine has a palette of nesting algorithms to suit different needs. The tight integration with MetaCAM offers benefits that third-party nesting engines can never match. Reading from MetaCAM parts, the nesting engine directly generates MetaCAM layouts, greatly simplifying workflow.
In addition to rectangular stock, the nesting engine can also use irregular or remnant stock from previous nests. It also supports special nests for right-angled shears or for multiple-torch cutters. Intelligent part rotation and filler part placement help get the best stock utilization.
Assemblies can be defined and saved in a library, for easy reuse in all nesting jobs.
Benefits
 Host of algorithms designed for different types of parts.
Common Line Cutting.
Comprehensive Reports with all information needed to run machines.
Automatically resolve conflicts in turrets to build a Nest Turret.
Improves material utilization and eliminates programming bottlenecks.

Irregular Sheet Nesting
 In
addition to rectangular stock, the nesting engine can also use irregular
or remnant stock from previous nests.
It also supports special nests for right-angled shears or for multiple-torch
cutters.
Resolving Turret Conflicts
 The
nesting system has a tool conflict resolution system that can help untangle
even the most complex nesting schedules.
The system can keep track of the
turret load on your machines, and will re-configure nested patterns to
minimize time consuming tool changes.
You can throw a set of disparate
parts with different turret loads into a nest, and the conflict resolution
system will automatically or interactively guide you to resolving tool
conflicts.
The variety of conflict resolution
methods allow you to remain in control, while the centralized interface
lets you focus on the task at hand.
Punch Nesting
 Metacam
can break away low efficiency nests that can be renested using a different
nesting algorithm or a smaller sheet size. Easily retool parts from one
machine to another and save them to a new location. Automatically sequence
and Generate NC code for all nesting patterns generated with a single
mouse click. Get Comprehensive Nesting Reports for all sheets with total
qty of parts nested and Sheets used.
Keep track of your nesting efficiencies
by Part Weight, Area Utilization of Parts, Slugs and Skeletons Build and
Maintain Metacam Assemblies that can be easily loaded to run standard
nest runs. Automate your nesting process by feeding text based input files
to run nests in the background.
Sheet Report
 Punch
Part Report, Laser Report, Custom Laser Reports can be generated and stored
as EMF or PDF files. These travel documents hold all data related to the
Part.
User can define custom layouts as per the requirements
of their shop.
