Chapter 5 – “FastNEST - Automatic Nesting”
93
Once an array is selected the quantity applied will simply be added into the
Cutlist. The user, if so desired, could re-apply the Automatic nesting routine by
clicking on the START icon on the Toolbar. This would then re-nest using the
newly acquired quantities given from the Array.
6. Add Another Part(s)?

At any time during the nesting session user may add more parts by
returning to step Four above. When finished adding parts, proceed to step
Seven.
7. Optimize Plate Utilization
Utilizing material in the best possible fashion is the goal in any nesting program.
After all parts have been added and positioned on the plate, the Jostle feature
described earlier may be used in order to pack parts tightly together in an effort to
reduce waste and increase re-stockable drops. In those instances where there will
be no useable drops, regardless of how tightly packed the parts are, the Jostle
feature will still provide the benefit of reducing the distance the machine travels
between parts.
8. Resequence Cutting Order
By optimizing the cutting order of parts, program files are streamlined and the
machine ultimately runs more efficiently. Just prior to outputting the cutting
code, it is recommended that Resequence be used.

Click OUTPUT on the menu and then click Resequence, or click on the
Resequence icon on the Toolbar.

A Resequence confirmation box appears, press Yes.
