1.Base Module
AtNEST is a powerful automatic nesting core module
AtNEST can provide accurate and automatic real shape nesting solutions for various industries such as sheet metal, wood, leather and equipment manufacturing. It stands out in CNC nesting field.
Functions of base module:
1.Specify nesting corner and nesting direction for each sheet according to the demand.
2.The starting angle of nesting can be set for the plate, and the nesting direction and scanning interval are preferred.
3.Parts can be embedded into a non-rectangular sheet, which can contain a number of holes.
4.In a single run, AtNEST can nest many sheets having different sizes and shapes.
5. AtNEST supports incremental nesting which to nest some parts first, and then add some parts to continue the nesting.
6. Tool compensation can be added for each part and then nesting can be made.
7. No restriction on the geometric complexity of parts and sheets.
8. Priority nesting can be set for parts. There are 10 levels from 0 to 9, 0 is first to nest, 9 is last to nest. The same grade can be sorted by user.
9.The user can specify the rotation angle of the part to control the rotation of the part. The smaller the angle set, the longer the nesting time.
10. Grain direction control for part and sheet.
11.The net area, outer contour area, circumference, the width and height of enveloping rectangular can be arranged among the same input grade parts.
12. The inner holes of the parts whether can be nested can be selected.
13. Leads and other details can be added to the part to affect the nesting results.
14. Parts and sheets can be added in the operation.
15. Support parts automatic combination. The user can set the automatic combination of parts, and the software will automatically combine the parts into the smallest shape close to the rectangle before nesting.
2.True shape nesting module
The AtNEST automatic nesting core can be applied into the application you developed and run with your algorithm, preserving the intellectual property you developed and improve the nesting utilization and speed. Better results can be obtained.
3.Auto Pairing module
AtNEST automatic nesting core has the function of automatic combination, which can combine the parts set to automatic combination into the shape of nearly rectangle before automatic layout, so as to improve the utilization and save the nesting time.
4.Leather layout module
The software can meet the need of automatic layout of leather industries, which can pair different quality of leather and parts. Low - grade parts can be nested in high - grade areas, but high - grade parts will not be nested in low - grade areas.
True shape nesting can meet the strict requirements of leather industries. Different rotation angle can be set for each part. It can settle leather nesting matters automatically. The core can be applied into user’s software easily.
5.Rectangular nesting module
The software generates an algorithm specially for rectangular nesting, which can improve the efficiency and speed of rectangular nesting significantly. The rectangular nesting can be applied into shearing and other cuttings.
6.Nesting speed optimization module
AtNEST auto nesting core continuously optimizes and updates the nesting speed, which can save a lot of layout time for users. It also can optimize layout algorithm according to the user’s demands.

5.Consider the effect of wood grain direction on the nesting results.
3.Leather nesting software
Leather nesting is different from other general industries because of the particularity and complexity. The leather need to be divided into different quality areas. Therefore, it is necessary to nest parts with different requirements into different areas of quality to meet the requirements of customers. The high speed and efficiency and auto nesting core of AtNEST can meet these requirements of leather industries.
4.Sponge and foam cutting software
Due to the special cutting process, sponge and foam cutting software has strict limitations on spacing, diameter and cutting sequence of parts, and efficient true shape nesting meets the special application requirements of this industry. High speed and efficient true shape AtNEST automatic nesting core, the algorithm features irrelevant to the complexity of parts, and the simple and easy-to-use API function call method bring the high efficiency and reliability to the industry.
5.Glass cutting software
Due to the special physical and chemical properties of glass, the direction of cutting and layout should be considered. The special algorithm of this core meets its process requirements. High speed and efficient true shape AtNEST automatic nesting core, the algorithm features irrelevant to the complexity of parts, and the simple and easy-to-use API function call method bring the high efficiency and reliability to the industry.
6.Machine tool embedded nesting software
