The Software for Automated Nesting

Autodesk Inventor Nesting helps you reduce your costs while optimizing the yield from flat raw material. With the integrated solutions, you can compare different nesting arrangements, optimize your material yield and increase your project efficiency. Inventor Nesting is particularly suitable for manufacturers who produce sheet metal parts and want to reduce their material and labor costs.

Efficient Nesting in CAD with Autodesk Inventor Nesting

Inventor Nesting is a software solution developed by Autodesk that specializes in the automated nesting of 2D and 2.5D parts for manufacturing. Nesting refers to the process of arranging 2D cut-outs, templates or parts on a flat sheet or sheet of material to minimize waste and use material efficiently. Autodesk Inventor Nesting is specifically designed for sheet metal fabrication and CNC machine optimization.

Nesting is integrated directly into Autodesk Inventor, making it possible to nest components associatively, as well as to calculate sheet metal components and assemblies more quickly.
