CAM-Computer Aided Manufacturing

sigmanest

SigmaNEST is a comprehensive software solution for nesting, NC programming and cutting of steel sheet, plate, tube sigmanest-1and wood materials. SigmaNEST is the leading CAD/CAM nesting system for plasma, laser, punch, oxyfuel, waterjet, router, knife, tube/pipe and combination cutting machines.

SigmaNEST ensures superior material utilization, machine motion optimization, and maximum part quality balanced with cutting speed, work flow integration, material handling, accurate estimates and information management.

SigmaNEST simply has the best nesting technology in the industry. Central to the superiority of SigmaNEST is the proprietary nesting engine that is developed and maintained by a SigmaTEK team of mathematicians and engineers considered leaders in the field of material optimization in manufacturing. SigmaNEST serves nearly every industry – if you can cut it or punch it, we can nest it. And because SigmaNEST can be used on every type of machine, you can purchase a single economical solution that is flexible and scalable.

SigmaNEST saves you valuable materials and manpower while never sacrificing quality. Integration with the most popular CAD and NC programs, a simple interface and the best customer support in the business, are all reasons why SigmaNEST is the industry leader with over 9,000 systems installed worldwide.

The new has a combination of improvements in intuition and efficiency-enhancing features that will be beneficial to every user. SigmaNEST makes advanced programming tasks simple and more automated. SigmaNEST introduces optimization tactics that use brand new features like iPierce™, HDX™ precision plasma setting, improved import functions, NC sequencing and much more.

iPierce creates an eyelet into the skeleton as it cuts the part, then places the next lead-in in the eyelet area, eliminating the need for a pierce. Reducing pierces dramatically decreases the cycle time to cut a nest, especially when processing thick metal. Another benefit of pierce reduction is the elimination of slag where parts have been cut.

SigmaNEST HDX processes parts specifically for precision plasma cutting. It assigns special lead-ins and lead-outs to each part to eliminate divots in small holes. SigmaNEST adjusts gas pressures, plasma amperage and height controls while it generates the cutting program. SigmaNEST automatically calibrates the NC toolpath to achieve a balance between pierce holds, feedrates and advance-off movements, resulting in cylindrical, taper-free holes. SigmaNEST HDX can be used with any plasma machine capable of advanced command messaging, auto gas and height control to produce superior hole quality, even at a 1:1 ratio.

In addition to improving processing speed and cut quality, SigmaNEST is also making easier to import geometry. The new import functions are an interactive dialogue that allows users to scale parts and gives them the ability to toggle and show errors within the part’s geometry before importing the parts. In addition, SigmaNEST also has the ability to import from vector-based PDF files.
