How to Nest SolidWorks Parts and Assemblies

August 27, 2024 |

Learn how integrated nesting provides true shape nesting, part-in-part nesting, user-specified grain direction and layouts for parts with varied thickness.

Nesting parts for fabrication, woodworking or soft goods production saves money by optimizing material usage and reducing waste. NestingWorks is a SolidWorks add-in that can be used independently for nesting or in combination with your integrated CAM software to create CNC programs for machining of the nested sheets of parts. It automatically flattens parts and includes several advanced options to save you time in CNC programming. Join this webinar to experience the benefits of integrated nesting software.

Agenda:

  • See how integrated nesting uses full associativity with SolidWorks and automatically nests parts, assemblies and folders of parts
  • Learn how integrated nesting provides true shape nesting, part-in-part nesting, user-specified grain direction and layouts for parts with varied thickness
  • Watch a demonstration to see how integrated nesting produces the maximum number of parts from a single piece of raw material in a matter of minutes
