RhinoCAM-NEST
RhinoCAM-NEST, a separately priced module, is MecSoft’s cost effective solution for optimally arranging and fitting geometric shapes onto sheets of stock material. RhinoCam-NEST provides two primary nesting capabilities: Rectangular Nesting and True Shape Nesting. For both RhinoCAM-NEST solutions, individual 2D CAD shapes can be arranged on sheets according to user-defined quantities, spacing, editing, modeling, and with orientation control, including material grain restrictions.!
RhinoCAM-NEST is included FREE in all configurations of RhinoCAM-MILL!
