CAD/CAM Nesting Software Upgrade



Hypertherm has announced a major version upgrade to its ProNest advanced CAD/CAM nesting software for automated cutting. ProNest 2015 contains a number of improvements designed to make the software more efficient and easier to use.

According to the company, notable features include:

  • An automatic nesting process called IntelliChoice that makes advanced level nesting decisions based on the available parts in the part list
  • A simplified and intuitive user interface that more closely aligns with the look and operation found with commonly used business applications
  • Tabs to quickly navigate between nests, insert new nests or reorder nests by clicking and dragging tabs to the desired location
  • The ability to export nests directly to a DXF file without installing a special DXF Polyline set-up or changing machines
  • Expanded keyboard shortcuts throughout the software navigation
  • More standard features such as OneClick, a production module that automates various job tasks, and Custom Remnants, a tool that allows users to enter the dimensions of an irregular plate or remnant and then complete a nest. Formerly, those two modules were sold separately.

Hypertherm is also releasing major version upgrades to its TurboNest intermediate-level nesting software and NestMaster entry-level nesting software. These updates contain a number of the new features found in ProNest 2015.
