How about NestProfessor nesting software

[Hodge]

Hi, I just downloaded a nesting application named NestProfessor, the nesting result is excellent for me , I like to see the possibility to use it in my plasma cutting, there is part space limit in trial version.

Does someone use it for work? How about it? I prefer to have some suggestion before pay it.

I'm going to answer you by saying ; No I don't use the software, But.....
Nesting of any part is easy if you know a little trick .
I been trying to control my code size. With todays verson of MasterCam X5. We have the ability to nest as far as the sky can see.
But everyone knows you can't be DNCing all that code.
And let alone the head akes.
I'm not sell you a bill of goods.

I was told a long time ago to keep it simple S...D"
So with out the mess of the cad software. so something simple.

Write the code and run a G66 for the other locations.
Here is the trick.

turn a G81 into a G66..
Simple.

A G81 is like this on a fadal, convert or adapt , and I'm not babying you.
Do some work.

G81 G90 G98 S1000 X1. Y1. Z-1. R0+.1

Y0
X-1
G80

NOW do it with. a G66
