Nesting

The process of efficiently positioning sheet parts in a sheet to reduce material waste.

Distance between parts 20mm

Nesting steps:

• 01.Set up nest template: ShipConstructor/navigator/templates/Nest01:units:mm, text style : KP arial narrow
• 02.Check stock plate in manager
• 03.Create the Nest files.
• 04.In every nest file insert nest plate.0,0 insertion point. In general are 5 nest in a row with distance 500mm.Second row 1000 mm under.
• 05.Insert the parts: array individually.
• 06. Nest the parts: first the big plates starting lower left corner.
• 07.When nest is done assign the parts to the nest.
• 08.Navigator/unit/check nests. If OK you get the message :0 parts remain unnested!.
• 09.Nest/Check nests.
• 10.Delete content of Nestprt folder after every check nest.
• 10.Nest/Check colision.
• 11.Update nest and BOM.
• 12.Add a calibration plates in every nest using tool pallete.

If after check nest in unit remain parts unnested or some parts form nest were modified than repeat the steps are:

• 08.Delete content of Nestprt folder
• 09.Nest/Check nests/ reinsert parts.
• 10.Delete content of Nestprt folder after every check nest.
• 10.Nest/Check colision.
• 11.Update nest and BOM.
• 12.Add a calibration plates in every nest using tool pallete.

If the nest is ready and still 1 or 2 parts were modified than:

• 1.
