SoftONE-NEST.
True-Shape Nesting & Digital Production Traceability.

True-shape nesting for production constraints

Constraint-aware placement engineered for real shop-floor rules (technology, kerf, bridges, marking, torch rules), not “generic” nesting.

• True-shape contours, automatic nesting and cut-ready geometry
• Smart bridges (tabbing) nesting: Manual & Automatic
• Multi-torch / multi-head workflows
• Designed for stable CNC output downstream

Shipbuilding interoperability

Import parts from complex shipbuilding CAD/CAM environments and standardize them into a consistent nesting → CNC workflow.

• Imports from advanced naval CAD ecosystems (e.g., AVEVA Marine, CADMATIC, Smartmarine, DXF) through your established pipeline
• Batch-ready job preparation for production teams
• Multi-machine workflow integration

Revision-aware production updates

Revision-aware nesting updates support controlled changes and consistent regeneration of production documentation and NC output.

• Revision-aware nesting updates
• Structured change handling for production packages
• Controlled NC regeneration when required

Automated reports

Generate production reports automatically—ready for engineering, planning and shop-floor execution.

• Automatic BOM
• Nesting lists (CSV)
• Parts nomenclature reports
• Remnant tracking
• Cutting length & material utilization
• Material grade & weight calculation

What’s included in a job package

Each job package includes a production nesting sketch with part IDs and complete metadata, together with controller-ready NC programs.

• Nesting sketch for production with part IDs
• Marking information embedded in NC output
• Cutting lengths, material grade and weight
• Associated NC programs

Nesting production sketch

Automatically generated production sheet with geometry, metadata and traceability information.

Integrated Postprocessing & Multi-Axis NC Generation

SoftONE-NEST includes an integrated CNC postprocessor, generating fully controller-ready NC programs directly from the nesting environment, including multi-axis bevel logic.

• Integrated multi-axis bevel output: direct NC generation for V/K/Y edge preparation and bevel-aware geometries.
• Controller-specific logic: machine-adapted feeds, kerf compensation, process parameters and bevel instructions.
• Cross-standard NC support: ESSI, ISO/EIA G-Code and DSTV (NC1) generated within the same workflow.
• Output consistency across machines: stable and repeatable NC generation across heterogeneous CNC fleets in multi-machine environments.

Output consistency across machines

Generate consistent data and packages across multiple CNC machines—supporting centralized planning and decentralized execution.

• Multi-machine workflow integration
• Standardized production packages
• Stable downstream postprocessing

Typical scope

Import → nesting constraints → traceability & reports → job packages → controller-ready NC.
