Tubes
Easily nest your tubes in AutoNest.
AutoNest lets you easily nest your tubes.
Tubes can be imported directly from cncKad, from MTube, or from CAD programs (such as SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, PTC Creo, and Autodesk Inventor) via CAD Link. They can be batch processed via the Daily Job and automatically nested with AutoNest Pro. The automatic process identifies the different tube part profiles, material, and thickness, and nests them accordingly, rotating and flipping tube parts for the best and most efficient solutions. You generate NC for tube nests and preview them on tube nesting reports.

AutoNest
-
Daily Job
Daily Job allows you to batch process orders of DFT, DXF, DWG, and other CAD format files.
-
Fully Automated Nesting
Fully Automated Nesting provides a variety of nesting methods, from rectangular to advanced True Shape.
-
Tooling
Most of cncKad’s CAM editing functionalities are available in AutoNest so you can change the tooling and the processing for the whole nest or specific parts.
-
Dynamic Common Cuts
AutoNest automatically positions parts so adjoining edges are processed at the same time with dynamic common cuts.
-
Remnant Handling
The remnant handling feature allows you to save partially used sheets for future nesting solutions.
-
Multiple Sheet Solutions
Multiple sheet solutions can be generated on different sheet sizes. AutoNest selects them automatically for efficiency and the minimal number of SubNests.
-
Multiple Material Nests
Parts from different materials are sorted automatically and nested on appropriate sheets.
-
Manual Nesting
AutoNest manual nesting allows you to position parts interactively.
-
Nest According to Turret Restrictions
AutoNest arranges parts on the SubNests, calculating the solution based on the restrictions dictated by the particular machine turret.
-
Tubes
Easily nest your tubes in AutoNest.
