CAD Interfaces

SigmaNEST provides a high degree of integration with major CAD/CAM products.

The import process is initiated from the SigmaNEST tool bar and in most cases, this transparently invokes the corresponding application in the background to perform necessary preprocessing of the model before it is placed directly on the SigmaNEST work space.
