Anyone need a ring segment nesting calculator?

[patriqq]

You input outside Ø or R, inside Ø or R, included angle or # of pieces in 360°, # of rows, # of columns, and spacing.

It outputs the length and height of each segment, and the length and height of the nest.

It's just for calculating material use - it doesn't output any g-code or work with CAD.

Saw this for $90, thought I would make my own. PM or email me if you want it, FREE, thanks.

Here it is. Works best in Excel, but also works in OpenOffice (but in OpenOffice you lose the toggle between Ø and R).

Hi patriqq,

this is a useful utility

by the way,
do you have or know if there is a length calculator of a dxf file

[patriqq]

We use ProNest, which calculates the extents (length & width) of CAD files upon import.
