Lantek Expert version 27 aims to improve material use and processing speed

Lantek Expert v27 sheet metal CADCAM software encompasses many improvements in material utilisation and processing speed. A new interface simplifies manipulation and viewing of nests through the nesting explorer menu, as well as providing floating, dockable panels that give information and control over the nesting process. Other aids to nesting include colour coding part identification, which can be limited to zones on the sheet, and improvements to the dragging of nested parts for collision avoidance against neighbouring components, ensuring that the resulting nest is valid. Expert II can now generate CNC code for several different machines simultaneously from one nest to maximize machine utilisation through last minute changes to the production cycle. A new module has also been introduced for manufacturing mosaic patterns
