BlankNest
Optimal Blank Nest Layout Software
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 Features & Benefits
Key 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 and material utilization.
Flexible Constraint Setup
BlankNest allows you to specify maximum pitch or coil width to ensure compatibility with machinery. You can also specify part bridge and edge bridge values as well as adding extra material to blanks to account for trim or addendum allowances.
Automatic Nesting
BlankNest will quickly calculate optimized nesting layouts for both one-up and two-up nesting layouts. One-up layouts take only a few seconds and most two-up layouts will solve in under a minute.
Built-In Materials Database
BlankNest includes a built-in, customizable database of common materials to help produce accurate results.
