A router based parts nesting solution, with NCAD as its foundation. COBUS nesting takes full advantage of computer processing and the multi-axis movement capabilities of CNCs to determine the best placement of parts on raw sheets of material for maximum yield and tool efficiency. Options for nesting results include part-in-part patterns as well as placement strategies to prevent parts moving due to the loss of suction (tabbing, small to large part sizes, etc.) on the router table. Parts and sheets can be imported from an ERP system, CSV or spreadsheet and parts can be set up as parametric templates so that they are imported and adjusted according to the current job specifications via automatic processing.

Benefits:
- Computed part placement and rotation: Automatically determined in seconds vs time spent if done manually
- High Yield: True-shape and part-in-part nesting options provide maximum yield and the least waste
- Multiple yield calculation options
- Multiple nesting strategies to overcome common CNC handicaps
- Automatic scrap (remnants or offcuts)
- Automatic labeling
