“Because SigmaNEST production costs have decreased,” explained Miss Wang, HKHI Nesting Technician. “The output part list helps us track production in real-time. Part quantities are clearly displayed on the part column, which prevents nesting mistakes. These features, along with inventory and remnant tracking, are more efficient.”
In addition HKHI often received Tribon™ part files to be cut. Through the engineering conversion functionality of SigmaNEST SimTrans all the Tribon files were easily converted into the part geometry and quickly nested.

On-demand functionality would allow files to be created in the MRP; and easily opened in SigmaNEST or SimTrans.
DECO: The Deco line consists of stainless steel and brass, including costly satin/mirror finishes. Minimizing skeleton material was vital and nesting had to be tight while maintaining the highest part quality. With SigmaNEST automation was achieved and scrap slashed to 13%.
FASCIA: With assistance from SigmaTEK Services Group, production went live within a week. Within four short months scrap rates were reduced by 25%.
Our scrap has been reduced by 25%. Tens of thousands of dollars can be saved with even a few percentage points decrease in scrap.
