Increase Profits
NestMaster standard features include CAD importing, nesting, CNC coding, reporting and many more; all in a single package! NestMaster automatically creates the tool-path (lead in/out style and placement, cut direction, sequencing, etc.) for CAD files as well as for parts developed in the shapes library. NestMaster increases your profits by optimizing programming and production operations.
NestMaster provides you with efficient automatic and flexible manual nesting to help reduce material consumption. Automatic nesting technology includes true shape, part-in-part, and multiple sheets per job. A variety of interactive nesting features (rotate, bump, array, etc.) allow parts to be manually nested with ease. User-defined separation values for part-to-part, part-to-plate edge, and part-to-pierce are used during automatic and manual nesting to further assist with material savings.
Upon completion of the nest, NC code is automatically created for your cutting machine. Information about the job (nest image, plate dimension, material utilization, cut sequence, etc) is provided by NestMaster's printed report. This allows management and machine operators to access the job information they need, at a glance.
NestMaster 2 is included with every G6 Fabricator.

Speed, Power and Affordability
TurboNest Nesting Software's CAD/CAM Import feature allows for easy importation of "ESSI" and "M&G" Code Files, DXF and DWG CAD formats. CAD layer(s) information is utilized to extract the desired data associated with various cutting, scribing and punching processes, and plot information. Any errors in the CAD file are corrected automatically, or flagged for a simple edit. Profile entity smoothing and reduction reduces multiple lines and arc segments from CAD files based on a user-defined smoothing tolerance to easily manage splines. The tool-paths for Profiles are generated on-the-fly, assigning cut direction, profile sequencing and leads upon import.
State-of-the Art User Interface
The TurboNest user interface was designed to make the nesting process simple and intuitive. With floating or "dockable" toolbars and menus, you can configure the TurboNest desktop to suit your individual preferences. "Fly by Help," context sensitive mouse cursors, and "drag and drop" nesting add up to a product that you can learn in minutes, not days! The TurboNest reports provide clear and concise information for both management and production needs.
