SigmaNEST for Aerospace

SigmaNEST is ideal for manufacturers producing parts for aerospace. In few other industries is part quality and accuracy as critical as in aerospace to meet the federal requirements that keeps lives safe while 30,000+ feet above earth.

SigmaNEST’s nesting efficiency with non-thermal cutting processes like waterjet, router and knife, help to ensure part integrity while improving cutting time.

Motion Optimization

SigmaNEST can reduce cutting time through common-line, auto-bridge and auto-chain cutting. The software also configures sequencing for minimum movement and auto tip-up for part avoidance.

Material Utilization

Advanced true shape nesting allows part-in-part nesting, easily combining small and larger parts from multiple orders to get the best material yield. SigmaNEST’s advanced modules provide complete inventory control, allowing best sheet selection, improved remnant consumption and overall inventory reduction.

Part Quality

For large machine parts, SigmaNEST helps ensure cutting the most dimensionally accurate parts through available features like automatic power ramping at corners, auto dwell and exact stops as well as varying, user-defined cut quality within a single part and between different parts in a single nest. Lead-in options, such as overburn and micro-joints, help ensure part quality for the larger, denser parts required for construction and agricultural equipment.
