Original Press Release:
SolidNEST - Absolute Integration
Clark, New Jersey - December 1, 2008 - DesignPoint Solutions is pleased to announce the addition of SolidNEST® to its selection of design and manufacturing software solutions. SolidNEST is an automatic nesting and NC programming solution for sheet metal and profile cutting that runs inside SolidWorks®. Based on SigmaNEST's® powerful nesting technology, SolidNEST enables users to nest and generate NC code without leaving the SolidWorks interface. SolidNEST combines the superior nesting power of SigmaNEST with SolidWorks for a seamless transition from a 3-dimensional model in SolidWorks to generating NC code for laser, plasma, oxyfuel, waterjet, router, and punch through a single SolidWorks interface. SolidNEST is a SolidWorks Certified Gold Product which eliminates the need for an additional CAM program that transitions between SolidWorks and an NC code generator.
Through SigmaNEST's TrueShape(TM) nesting algorithm, SolidNEST supports parts in parts, multiple torches, and remnant nesting. TrueShape nesting offers companies the power to:
o Reduce remnant material inventory
o Speed up NC programming
o Improve material utilization
o Create efficient nested part layouts
o Effortlessly produce NC programs
o Maximize production
Many companies use SolidWorks to achieve optimal productivity in design; now with SolidNEST, companies can also achieve optimal productivity in material utilization and machine motion. Because of SigmaTEK's dedication to research and development, the SolidNEST solution provides superior capabilities in NC programming and automatic nesting. It provides a strong breadth and depth of functionality to ensure accurate part cutting, optimal material usage, and reduced cutting time. DesignPoint Solutions is pleased about the opportunity to provide a world-class product like SolidNEST to their SolidWorks customers.
