The software then uses algorithms to arrange the parts in the most efficient way possible, minimizing waste and optimizing material usage.
✅ From automotive foam seats to aerospace brackets—if your part has curves, pockets, or varying thickness, 3D nesting is non-negotiable.
✅ Stop wasting offcuts. 3D nesting algorithms can reduce waste by 20-35% by fitting parts into voids and around obstacles you’d never see manually.
The software takes 3D models of parts or components as input and generates a optimized layout of the parts within a material sheet or workspace. The software considers various factors such as:
