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."

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
