SigmaNEST for Steel Fabricators
SigmaNEST is not only designed to program NC profile cutting equipment such as Plasma, Laser, Oxyfuel, and Punching machines. It is a configurable, application specific system capable of streamlining the whole plate and sheet metal processing function in a steel fabrication job shop or production facility.
Some of the benefits enjoyed by steel fabricators using SigmaNEST include:
- Automated bill-of-material and batched parts processing
- Directly interfacing to modern CAD systems such as SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Unigraphics, and others, transferring part geometry and production data
- Automatic nesting which ensures optimal utilization of material
- Machine motion optimization using Advanced NC Programming which ensures minimum machine cycle time, increasing the production capacity of existing equipment
