Nest-Way

Nest-Way is a module for the automatic nesting of regular and/or shaped figures with a direct link to automatic cutting systems, like Waterjet NC machines. Thanks to its extreme versatility, Nest-Way can also be used outside the glass sector.

Nest-Way’s calculation algorithm produces optimum results in very short processing times. Nest-Way is a tool that not only significantly reduces waste and the subsequent high disposal cost, but also decreases data entry errors as well as processing and cutting times.
