Fabrication Industry Leaders Coming Together to Deliver
Unmatched Performance and Accelerate Productivity

Cincinnati, OH – November 14, 2011 — SigmaTEK Systems, LLC, the world's leading CAD/CAM nesting authority and solutions provider, announces that its industry-leading SigmaNEST® software is being successfully employed on the Salvagnini fiber laser cutting system.

More and more high-end fiber laser cutting systems, such as Salvagnini, Cincinnati, and others are finding their way on to the shop floor at some leading manufacturing facilities. But advanced fabrication tools are only half the story. In order to reap the full benefits of any cutting tool, and especially high-end laser systems, the process must be driven with best-in-class nesting software.

With headquarters in Pella, Iowa, Vermeer Corporation manufactures a wide assortment of industrial and agricultural products. Having recently purchased a Salvagnini fiber laser cutter, the company is one example of a manufacturer who is discovering the powerful benefits of driving nesting with SigmaNEST. "Our Salvagnini fiber laser system, together with SigmaNEST, allows us to solidify our reputation for delivering quality and innovative products to meet the needs of current and future customers," explained Kevin Stauner Manufacturing Engineer at Vermeer. "Advanced part nesting features with SigmaNEST help accelerate productivity while reducing scrap. Together SigmaNEST and Salvagnini are providing Vermeer Corporation with new levels of manufacturing flexibility and efficiency."

"With pinpoint accuracy and shape-cutting flexibility today's fiber laser systems represent a quantum leap in fabrication technology. These tools have been aptly described as being a sharper knife – especially with regard to lighter gage material," said SigmaTEK President and CEO, Ben TerreBlanch. "However, putting these machines into production requires a serious capital investment. It is therefore imperative that manufacturers begin recouping costs as quickly as possible. The way to achieve this is to augment these systems with the speed and efficiency of SigmaNEST. Anything else is a step backward."
