As funny as the term nesting sounds, it is probably one of the more important aspects of industrial manufacturing. It's equally important in smaller businesses, but that's a totally different discussion. The idea behind this term is basically about efficiently using any type of material when attempting to cut various shapes and forms for whatever project. The word itself is a reference to fitting together efficiently more than one shape on a certain piece of material. That way, one doesn't waste materials. DG Nest+ is one particular way to plan the nesting of your pieces on a material portion.

The program itself is as efficient as what it tries to implement. The interface couldn't be clearer. As you attempt to place your shapes on the virtual material, the program will guide you. The easy way out is to hit the Autonest button, which will ultimately engage your machine in finding the best possible arrangement. One also gets an approximation of space and item weight, depending on the material we're talking about. One can also play with various parameters like the distance between elements when nesting, material thickness, and density.

If you're familiar with DG Nest Pro, you're probably wondering what DG Nest+ brings to the party. The latter is actually centered on smaller companies or on individuals with various hobbies who also want or at least should want to waste as little materials as possible in their manufacturing process. As far as functionality is concerned, you won't notice a difference. The real change is in the algorithm used to nest all the pieces together. DG Nest+ is much more capable when it comes to arranging mixed-sized shapes. You can end up using 85% percent of your material space.

DG Nest+ is an application dedicated to a select number of people. While there are solutions for the greater industrial companies, DG Nest+ comes to the table with a solution for individuals who are engaged in personal projects or small companies that need a fast way to reduce wasting material while also increasing productivity.
