BobNEST Software User ManualToolpath Generation Generate toolpath before nesting: When this option is checked BobNEST willgenerate and nest the toolpath of the parts that have been selected. When this optionis not checked the software will nest the actual parts using the values the user hasinput. Cutting Direction: The user can select either a climb milling cutting direction, or aconventional mill cutting direction. Start/Direction: These options allow the user to control the starting position andcutting direction of the nested results. Pattern: This option controls the order in which the parts are machined. Parallel: This indicates that all rows/columns will be cut in the same direction. Zigzag: This indicates that the rows/columns will be cut in opposite directions.Parameters Rotate: When this option is checked BobNEST will rotate the parts if necessary tooptimize the sheet usage. The maximum amount of rotation is indicated by the value inthe Interval field. If this option is not checked the parts will not be rotated, that is theywill be in the same position on the nested sheet as they were in the workspace. Interval: This value entered here is used for the rotation interval for the nestingengine to use when trying to fit parts onto the sheet. As the rotation interval isreduced parts will be fit more efficiently, but the nesting results will take longer tocalculate. Bridge Distance: This option deals with part separation. The value input into this fieldindicates the extra distance between each part or toolpath in the nested sheet. Stock Margin: This option allows the user to create a distance or margin of un-nestedspace around the perimeter of the sheet. The value input into this field indicates thedistance between the nested parts or outside edge of the defined tool, when toolpath isbeing generated, and the edge of the work-piece. Fill Sheet From: This option allows the user to choose the order in which the parts arelaid out on the sheet. Bottom: Left To Right: This will cause the Nesting engine to create the rowsfrom left to right starting at the bottom of the sheet. Left: Bottom To Top: This will cause the Nesting engine to create columnsfrom the bottom of the sheet to the top starting on the left hand side of the sheet.Priority Part Use Nest Quantity Before Proceeding: Parts with a lower priority are only nested when allparts with a higher priority have been nested. Use Lower Priority Parts To Increase Efficiency: Parts with a lower priority areconsidered even if not all higher priority parts have been nested in order to maximizematerial utilization.Posting Order By Part: The cut order with this option selected will cut the internal shapes of a part,then directly cut the outside shape of the part, before moving onto the next part. By Sheet: All internal shapes will be cut on all parts in the sheet before beginningcutting the outside shapes of the parts in the nested sheet.32 Real Solutions for Global Manufacturing
