About Features

Some of the many features that you'll find in COBUS Nesting listed below for your consideration

Rectangular & True-Shape

Rectangular or "block" nesting, usually used for rectangular parts, transcribes all parts into a rectangle for cutting. True-Shape uses the actual part geometry to create tightly-knit patterns out of even the most unique shapes.

Re-usable Remnants

Unutilized portions of a sheet, left over after cutting, can be designated as re-usable Remnants. These remnants are saved back into inventory for use in subsequent jobs.

Connectivity

COBUS Nesting can connect with ERP systems for data transfer or part and sheet lists can be imported from a CSV or Excel Spreadsheet.

DXF Import

Direct import of nesting components from DXF files with a layered structure.

Inventory Stock

Each material can be assigned a quantity of available sheets. COBUS Nesting automatically deducts sheets used in a job from inventory to reflect real-time material quantities.

Job Summary

Each Nest provides info on the job nested: Sheets used, yield, any errors, scrap parts created/used, etc.

Pattern Editing

User manipulation of any of the patterns created by the nesting algorithm. Move, rotate, remove and add parts.

Part-In-Part Nesting

Smaller parts can be nested inside the "voids" of larger parts, further increasing sheet yield.

Grain Direction

The material grain can be selected for both parts and sheets so that desired look can be achieved.

Common-line Cutting

The nesting algorithm takes into account overlapping or repeated trim cuts of neighboring parts. This reduces cutting time by 30%.

Tabbing

A common practice to prevent movement of parts due to loss of suction on the router tables. "Tabs", small bars of material usually removed in trim cuts, are left connecting parts to each other.

Part Priority

Parts can be assigned a priority level which specifies to COBUS Nesting in which order they should be nested.

Filler Parts

Parts not necessarily needed in the current job but which occur often can be included as "filler" parts in nests. These can be alternately placed in scrap areas or simply in the space between parts.

Nesting Options

A multitude of options exist for how the nesting algorithm behaves that can be chosen by the user, for instance, an emphasis on center of gravity or gridded parts placement.
