BLANKNEST determines optimal material usage through geometric nesting of blanks
  • Automatically nests for best material utilization for one-up and   two-up layouts
  • Quickly and accurately estimates your material requirements
  • Evaluates multiple nesting scenarios quickly
  • Accurately determines total cost per blank

BLANKNEST is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on coils. It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on coil width and pitch constraints.
 
"BLANKNEST increased the coils utilization from 60% to 79% resulting in a nest that was over four pounds lighter. Amazingly over the 6-year lifecycle, $4,272,450 is the actual cost savings that is being applied towards a current automotive program."
Scott Moore, Spartanburg Steel Product, USA

FEATURES
:

  • Imports blank shape from IGES, DXF file types and other FTI software
  • Produces fully optimized nesting layouts for both one-up and two-up nesting configurations
  • Nests different blank shapes and left and right-hand blanks in the same layout
  • Constrains pitch, coil width and blank rotation (grain direction) to ensure layout is compatible with available   equipment and product requirements
  • Calculates accurate cost per blank based on supplied input data and material utilization
