Inventor Nesting it is an advanced solution that automates the time-consuming process of unfolding sheet metal cuts on a flat sheet. Nesting automatically searches for the most optimal plate layout, which will enable the best process efficiency. In addition, it gives the user the opportunity to influence the key parameters of the layout in such a way that the layout is even better and corresponds to the current needs of the user.
Autodesk Inventor Nastran is part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection and acts as an overlay for Inventor Professional thanks to the integration of these two environments making any changes to the model automatically introduces changes to Nesting, making the work quick and easy.
The program further allows us to export the finished sheet layout to a 3D model and DXF format on the basis of which the cutting paths can be generated on the machine. It is worth mentioning that the PD&M Collection also includes an advanced CAM module, thanks to which, by using the collection, we are able to deal with sheet metal elements in a comprehensive manner, from design to production.
