MaxxCAM – Optimize Material Utilization with Quick Nesting MaxxCAM nesting software features a powerful nesting engine equipped with dedicated algorithms for Punch, Profile, Punch/Shear, and more. These algorithms ensure maximum material utilization based on your specific requirements.
Nesting with MaxxCAM:
- Start a new nest job in MaxxCAM and add the parts you want to nest.
- Modify the quantity, rotation angle, priority, and bridge of each part as needed.
- In the assemblies tab, create a new assembly for the nest job.
- In the stock tab, add the required stocks based on material and quantity. Edit their attributes to customize settings such as Material, Thickness, Quantity, Priority, Margins, and Size.
- You can even add irregularly shaped stocks and remnants from previous nests if necessary.
- Use the “Do nesting” icon or switch to the Pattern tab to initiate the nesting process.
- Before nesting, check and modify the Nest settings according to your requirements.
Algorithms in MaxxCAM:
- Ideal for jobs with large quantities of each part.
- Suitable for jobs with relatively small quantities of each part.
- Effective for parts of varying sizes and efficient packing into remaining spaces.
- Common-line cutting: Places parts without gaps to allow single cuts on laser machines.
- A new algorithm that is three times quicker and offers higher material yield.
Once you have acceptable patterns, generate the code by clicking the NC code button. A sequencing option screen will appear, allowing you to choose post options, and your code will be generated.
