PLUS 2D:Nesting Software 8.0

PLUS 2D is a state of the art nesting software for generating optimized layouts and reducing scrap generated by 2 dimensional cutting processes. It finds application in varied industries such as Glass cutting, Sheet Metal layout, Wood working, Building panel etc.

Benefits:
· Nesting saves material and reduces scrap : The nesting technology is based on advanced cutting algorithms specifically designed to optimize the cutting layouts in shearing. It consistently delivers high utilization layouts, significantly reducing the waste and maximizing productivity.
· Automatic Nesting saves time, and shortens production cycle : PLUS helps industries that are involved in cutting bulk volume of two-dimensional Stock material, by saving material and shortening the production cycle.
· Quickly and accurately estimate your material requirements : PLUS 2D not only gives you the optimum cutting layouts but can also tell you what sheet sizes should be ordered.
· No Learning curve, be productive in 5 minutes : Just input the stock available, the parts required and with a single mouse click produce the complete cutting plan.
Features:
· Multiple stock, multiple part nesting.
· Decoiling support (stock in the form of rolls).
· Integrated customer and order entry database.
· Metric and English units (mm, inch support).
· Material Library, Part assemblies, standard shapes and parametric shape library.
· Automatic generation and tracking of offcuts.
· Simple UI, with import of data by copy and paste from spreadsheets.
· Support for saw blade thickness, grinding margins, cut complexity.
· Support for Non-Rectangular parts via DXF import
· Customizable output with layout drawings.
· Layout confirmation and Re-Nest options.
· Detailed reports, Label printing, and CAD interface via DXF export capability.
