CAD/CAM Nesting Software with Enhanced Features
February 1, 2025
Hypertherm Associates has announced a major version update to ProNest 2025 version 16.0 nesting software. There is a collection of new features and ongoing updates designed to help customers improve their operational efficiency while reducing nonvalue-added tasks.
New features include:
- Enhanced integration with Tekla PowerFab Connector-this optional module provides seamless data exchange between ProNest and Tekla PowerFab
- Library parts updates-this ensures the latest revision is always available
- Job auto recovery-this helps save work in progress from being lost
- Collision avoidance-this, now included by default in ProNest LT for OMAX waterjet set-ups, helps ensure an optimized cut path is applied in ProNest, eliminating the need for secondary steps in IntelliMAX.
Other recent features and enhancements:
- Crop line improvements-include multiple crop lines per nest with capabilities to cut empty plates using crop lines, change cut direction and apply XY coordinates
- Small entity detection-identifies motions that are smaller than kerf width or other length value, which can cause errors at the machine or may result in poor cut quality
- Machine home movement-moves for remnants that do not have a corner at the standard machine home
- Settings improvements-vaporizes for laser machines that support this capability.
"Tekla is a powerhouse in the structural steel industry," said Tom Stillwell, Product Marketing Manager for Hypertherm CAD/CAM software products. "Now, with this latest release, customers using both ProNest and Tekla PowerFab will benefit from having the most accurate, real-time data at their fingertips. This integration connects ProNest directly to the Tekla PowerFab API for automated bi-directional communication."
