Plasma, laser and waterjet profiling specialist Hypertherm has announced a major upgrade to its ProNest CADCAM nesting software for automated cutting.
ProNest 2015 contains a number of improvements designed to make the software more efficient and easier to use, says the company. Notable features include:
• An automatic nesting process called IntelliChoice that makes advanced level nesting decisions based on available parts.
• Simplified and intuitive user interface.
• Tabs to quickly navigate between nests, insert new nests or reorder nests by clicking and dragging.
• 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.
Hypertherm is also releasing major version upgrades to its TurboNest intermediate-level nesting software and NestMaster entry-level nesting software. These contain a number of the new features found in ProNest 2015.
