Modifying Nest Accuracy
Step 6: Change the nest accuracy to allow Nest engine to ‘think’ more when
nesting the parts.
a. Open the Nest dialog
b. Modify Nest accuracy- 0.5” (12mm), and then Click OK.
Once the value was changed to a larger value the nest was created much
quicker than using a value of 1.5. The actual outcome of quantity of parts and
utilization % will also change with a larger accuracy.
c. Open the Nest dialog
d. Modify Nest accuracy- 0.1” (0.3mm)
After decreasing the nest accuracy the amount of time to nest the parts was
noticeably increased. The outcome will be the same as original nest from this
section, but the nest engine will work a bit harder to attempt to find a better
nesting pattern. Modifying the nest accuracy is not needed for every nest, but
a suitable value should be found for each different customer situation.
Modifying Nest Direction
Step 7: Change the Nest Direction to allow another nest layout of parts.
a. Open the Nest dialog
b. Change the Nest Direction from top left to the selection directly
below. Click OK.
