Imge Nesting
Optimize material usage — advanced nesting algorithms minimize scrap rates and reduce cutting costs.
Imge Nesting
Imge Nesting is a professional nesting software that automates cutting plan optimization for sheet metal, wood, glass, acrylic and composite panels using mathematical optimization algorithms. It maximizes material efficiency by packing even irregular shapes onto sheets as densely as possible.
Real-time efficiency calculation, remnant management and multi-sheet optimization reduce production planning time. Integration with Imge CAD/CAM enables a direct workflow from design to cutting program on a single platform.
Machine-specific toolpath rules for laser, plasma, waterjet, router and press — combined with common-line cutting support — ensure the optimum NC program is delivered directly to your CNC machine.
Key Features
What makes this solution powerful.
Advanced Bin-Packing Algorithm
Handles irregular, nested and rotated part geometries with configurable rotation angles (0°, 90°, 180°, 270° or free) and mirroring options to minimize scrap.
Multi-Sheet & Multi-Order Optimization
Sheets of different sizes, thicknesses and materials are optimized simultaneously. Parts from multiple orders are combined and distributed across sheets for maximum efficiency.
Remnant (Offcut) Tracking
Leftover sheet pieces are automatically added to the remnant library after cutting. The system prioritizes these remnants in subsequent orders, reducing raw sheet consumption.
Common-Line Cutting
Adjacent parts share a single cut line, eliminating tool retraction distance. Cutting time and consumable wear are significantly reduced.
CNC Machine Integration
Machine-specific GCode / NC output generated for laser, plasma, waterjet, oxy-fuel and router. Toolpath simulation detects collisions and boundary violations before sending to machine.
Wide File Format Support
DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, SVG and PDF drawings are imported directly. Single-click part geometry transfer from Imge CAD or SolidWorks.
Material Library & Cutting Parameters
Custom kerf values, minimum part spacing and corner tolerances are defined per material type and thickness. Parameter library grows as new materials are added.
Real-Time Efficiency Analytics
Material utilization percentage, total scrap area, part count and estimated cutting time are reported instantly. Multiple nesting scenarios can be compared.
3D Sheet Metal Unfolding
3D sheet metal parts designed in Imge CAD are automatically converted to 2D flat patterns. Bend allowance and K-factor calculations are built in.
Batch Work Orders & ERP Integration
Work orders from SCIENTA ERP are automatically imported with part lists. Completed cutting plans feed back to ERP for inventory deduction and production progress tracking.
Advanced Capabilities
Enterprise-grade features and integrations.
Any Geometry, Any Material
Works with rectangular sheets, cylindrical tubes and irregular raw material geometries. Supports sheet metal, aluminium, stainless steel, MDF, glass and polymer panels.
Order-Based Prioritization
Urgent orders are queued at the top; the system places high-priority parts first and fills remaining area with other orders.
Multi-Machine Support
Multiple CNC machines can be defined; the system automatically assigns parts based on part size, material type and machine capacity.
On-Demand & Batch Modes
On-demand mode for urgent single-part cuts; batch optimization mode covering full-day or weekly orders for production planning.
Benefits & Use Cases
Measurable value for your organization.
15–30% Material Savings
Advanced algorithm reduces scrap rates by an average of 15–30% compared to manual nesting, directly lowering raw material procurement costs.
Near-Zero NC Programming Time
While manual nesting and NC programming can take hours, Imge Nesting produces an optimized plan and machine program in minutes.
Remnant Waste Eliminated
Remnant tracking and reuse reduces the inventory of unused partial sheets, lowering warehouse and material costs.
Cutting Error Prevention
Toolpath simulation detects collisions and out-of-boundary cuts before the program is sent to the machine, minimizing scrap parts and machine downtime.
Closed-Loop Manufacturing with ERP
The entire process — from work order to cutting plan, from cutting to inventory deduction — is managed in an integrated and traceable way with ERP.
Implementation & Adoption
End-to-end support for seamless integration.
01
Import Part Geometries
Import part geometries from DXF/DWG, STEP or Imge CAD. Define kerf allowance, rotation permission and priority.
02
Select Sheet & Machine
Choose sheet size and thickness from the material library and the cutting machine from the machine list. Kerf and tolerance values are applied automatically.
03
Run Optimization
Launch optimization with one click. The system calculates the most efficient layout in seconds and presents the efficiency report and comparative scenarios.
04
Send to CNC & Produce
Send the approved GCode or NC output to the machine. Remnants are automatically added to the library after cutting, and ERP inventory is updated.
