SoftONE-NEST
SoftONE-NEST is easy-to-use, powerfull CAD/CAM true shape plates nesting software for plasma, waterjet, oxyfuel, and laser machines. Application use the best methods for parts nesting and together with its database platform make a professional nesting solution for shipbuilding and sheet metal industries.
Using a strong database system with network support, make easy the integration with the existing customers ERP system. Also, it has embedded the smart SoftONE-CNC post processor software, which make it compatible with almost all cutting machines manufacturers in the market.
Microsoft blue style graphical user interface (GUI) makes it easy to learn.It is based on the latest .NET technology.
SoftONE-NEST is designed to run in Windows XP/Vista/7/10.

Advantages:
Optimal rectangular material utilization to reduce scrap ;
“Smart Bridge nesting†reduce the pierces machines processes;
"Real time" counting of the nested parts;
Plates Inventory : permits the creation and storage of rectangular, plates in an internal database. All new stock plates may be added to the plate inventory and utilized on an on going basis.. As plates are consumed during nesting, the inventory is updated;
Nesting productions sketches :contain key production information are used by production workshop;
ERP/MRP system integration:integrates with ERP and MRP systems to automatically schedule new orders and nest them, based on workload.
Maximum flexibility in file conversion and importation;
Custom shapes can be saved into standard part library for future use;
Integration with different CAD/CAM systems like Aveva Marine and Smart Marine;
Microsoft database system for storing objects and easy reports generation;
