Fiber lasers have taken the market by storm. They promise faster, sharper, cleaner parts and less maintenance to boot. Operating costs are lower, and material yield higher. Optimize your process using SigmaNEST, the most advanced laser cutting software.
Laser Cutting Software
More Machine Types
To get the results you were promised, machines can’t simply be run “as-usual.” Industry front-runners and machine manufacturers trust SigmaNEST to achieve optimal performance. SigmaNEST laser cutting software was created through years of targeted research and development with nesting and NC programming. We support all different types of lasers, from fiber and CO2 to tube or combination machines.
Features
- Automatically fillet corners to achieve faster part cut times and improve part handling safety
- Use recessed tabs to speed up your process
- Support for robotic removal systems
CAD Integration
- Automatic processing of flat pattern data from 3D CAD systems like SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, Siemens NX as well as IGES, DXF, DWG
- Supports more CAD file formats for import than any other nesting solution
Fast, Automatic Nesting
- Material and time savings with bridge cutting, common-line and chain cutting
- Maximum yield nesting
- Common-line nesting
- Pattern matching
- Remnant tracking & nesting
NC for Fiber
- Cutting technology management functions like automatic pulsing, power ramping, feed rate control, focal height, assist gas and pressure adjustment
- Pre-piercing, pierce “on-the-fly” and pierce reduction, as well as options for fine, fast and normal piercing
- Microwelds for Trumpf laser cutting machines
- Various levels of cut quality using Appropriate Quality Cutting (AQC) technology
