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.

Areas of Application for Inventor Nesting

With Inventor Nesting, you can nest materials and sheet metal panels individually. Find out more about the other possibilities in sheet metal processing.

Optimize Cutting

Inventor Nesting enables sheet metal parts scrap to be reduced to a minimum. 

Simplify Data Exchange

Export drafts in your own layouts (DXF).  

3D Rendering

Visualize CNC cuts in 3D also for plasma, laser and water cutting. 

Product Features of Inventor Nesting

Make the most of your sheet metal processing with Inventor Nesting and optimize the manufacturing process. Discover more benefits of the software:

Automate Nesting

Generate multiple, true-to-shape sheet metal nests and reduce scrap.

Create Cutting Paths

Create 3D models, generate cutting paths using Inventor CAM and create DXF™ files in AutoCAD and the matching milling paths.

Compare Efficiency

Use Inventor Nesting to compare each nesting analysis and evaluate the efficiency, cost and turnaround time details.

Optimize Material Management

You can define different materials and sheet sizes and the software automatically selects the ideal material.

Integration with Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk Inventor Nesting can be seamlessly integrated into Inventor, facilitating the transition from design to manufacturing.

Reporting

You can generate reports on material consumption and the arrangement of parts to control production costs.

Benefits of Autodesk Inventor Nesting

Inventor Nesting supports you in the planning, scrap reduction and NC data generation of your design. You don't have to step outside your CAD. Discover more benefits now:

Automate Nesting

The software uses advanced algorithms to automatically arrange parts on a flat plate or sheet to minimize material waste.

Reduce Costs

Reduce your costs through optimized material usage and comprehensive reporting in Inventor Nesting. This means you always have a complete overview of your resources in the production process.

Increase Efficiency

Increase efficiency in three ways: optimized cut planning, minimized waste and higher material yield.
