Autodesk Inventor Nesting

Reduce Scrap and Boost Efficiency

• Autodesk Inventor Nesting empowers designers and engineers to create optimal layouts for sheet metal parts.
• This software tool automatically arranges flat parts to minimize wasted material during the cutting process.
• This translates to significant cost reductions and improved material utilization.

Key Features for Streamlined Workflows

• Automated Nesting: Generate layouts that minimize scrap with automated algorithms.
• Comparison and Optimization: Compare different nesting configurations to identify the most efficient layout.
• Seamless Integration: Create nests directly from Inventor part files or assemblies without switching software.
• Cutting Path Generation: Generate 3D models of the nest for toolpath creation in Inventor CAM or export DXF files for use in other CAM software.

Detailed Reporting and Collaboration

• Autodesk Inventor Nesting Efficiency Reports: Gain insights into material usage, cost, and machining time with detailed reports.
• Material and Packaging Options: Define material types, thicknesses, and grain directions during nesting. Even account for packaging constraints to ensure efficient part placement after cutting.
• Template Management: Save time and ensure consistency across projects by creating and saving nesting templates with pre-defined material properties and nesting parameters.
• Improved Communication: Generate detailed nesting reports that summarize material usage, cost savings, and other key metrics, facilitating communication and decision-making for stakeholders.

By leveraging Autodesk Inventor Nesting, designers and engineers can significantly improve sheet metal fabrication processes, minimize waste, and optimize material usage.
