SigmaNEST utilizes all machine cutting/punching functions and technologies, ensuring peak performance while integrating with other software and systems to optimize processes.
SigmaNEST for Furniture Upholstery
SigmaNEST pairs with all major router machines and helps to extend tool life and reduce material waste while considering machine needs such as the vacuum hold down. For working with high-end wood products, SigmaNEST provides a part grouping feature to maintain the material grain direction consistent across a sub-set of parts.
A few ways SigmaNEST nesting software supports the Furniture Upholstery Industry
- Multiple advanced nesting algorithms for maximum material yield
- Accurate cost and time estimates
- Adaptive nesting for multi-head machines
- Drag, drop and bump features
- Pre-piercing and tip-up crash avoidance
- Bridge, chain, and common-line cutting

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 over-burn and micro-joints, help ensure part quality for the larger, denser parts required for construction and agricultural equipment.
For punch machines, SigmaNEST offers the option for “auto dynamic” nesting to tool and nest parts at the same time. Common-line punching, automatic and interactive repositioning, tabbing and drop-door capabilities are among the other key punch features.
