ProNest® Essentials (OPTIONAL)
Automatic Nesting – nest with the click of a button. Choose a preferred nesting strategy to control the balance between nesting speed and material utilization or select “IntelliChoice” and ProNest will determine a strategy and nest. Parts are nested for maximum cutting efficiency and material utilization, without any operator intervention required.
ProNest® Unlimited (OPTIONAL)
Automatic Nesting – nest with the click of a button. Choose a preferred nesting strategy to control the balance between nesting speed and material utilization or select “IntelliChoice” and ProNest will determine a strategy and nest. Parts are nested for maximum cutting efficiency and material utilization, without any operator intervention required.
Common Line Cutting – share the common edges of adjacent parts. This feature can be applied automatically to similar parts or manually for dissimilar part profiles. Kerf compensation is applied automatically. Fewer pierces and reduced cutting distance will maximize productivity and consumable life. It also can save material by eliminating the separation between parts that otherwise becomes scrap.
Chain and Bridge Cutting – link multiple part profiles into one continuous cut. The chain can be created manually, after parts have been nested, or automatically as an array of parts. Use Bridge Cutting to create a thin web of material between parts, which helps prevent tip‑ups on small parts. This forms a single exterior profile, which can stabilize parts during separation from the plate, making them less prone to the effects of thermal movement. Both techniques result in fewer pierces and greater consumable life.
Skeleton Cut-Up – makes dedicated cuts to a sheet, making it easier to remove skeleton material from the table. Skeleton cuts are added automatically; and can be edited to meet your needs. Skeleton lines may be cut before or after the parts are cut.
Design2Fab® Sheet Metal Layout Software (OPTIONAL)
Design2Fab sheet metal layout software makes it easy to create HVAC duct, mechanical, kitchen, industrial, roofing, and other specialty fitting layouts. Engineered to dramatically reduce the time it takes to develop and lay out flat patterns, Design2Fab provides sheet metal fabricators, HVAC shops, and MEP contractors with the ability to create complex custom fitting layouts in minutes, rather than hours. Design2Fab also helps ensure perfect fit-up when installing parts in the field, contributing to increased productivity and lower operating costs to accomplish more, while increasing profitability.
Starting with the parametric fittings library, you will have access to a complete range of templates including all core shapes and sizes which can be customized to virtually any design. You can apply SMACNA or DIN based shop standards to any fitting in the job, including pressure class, metal gauge, seam styles, joints, stiffeners, wrap, acoustic liner, and sealant. Once the design is complete, it can export patterns to DXF for automated cutting. You can also export patterns for manual cutting using HPGL print files, printed to a plotter, or laid out manually using XY or triangulation points
