Optimize cutting patterns, saving time and material costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Siemens Solid Edge 2D Nesting is a powerful standalone module designed to generate optimized layouts for the two-dimensional cutting of fabrication materials, including sheet metal, wood, plastic, fabric, and textiles. 2D Nesting saves fabricators time and money by allowing them to manage material use more effectively<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the ability to select multiple sheet sizes and even odd-shaped sheets, 2D Nesting gives you the ability to select the most efficient nest, eliminating tailings, or partial sheets. Closely integrated with Solid Edge\u2019s world-class portfolio of products, 2D Nesting launches from Solid Edge Mechanical Design with a single click. Selecting parts to import for nesting is quick and easy. 2D Nesting supports Solid Edge sheet metal and part files (PSM and PAR), as well as neutral data formats including DXF and DWG, automatically extracting flat pattern data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
