Product catalog summary

Overview: BLANKNEST is a sophisticated nesting software developed by Forming Technologies Incorporated (FTI) for optimizing material usage in sheet metal blanking processes. It is designed to enhance material utilization by determining the best geometric nesting of blanks on coils.

Key Features:

Automatic Nesting: Calculates optimal nesting layouts for one-up and two-up configurations to maximize material utilization.
Material Estimation: Quickly estimates material requirements and evaluates multiple nesting scenarios.
Cost Analysis: Provides accurate cost per blank based on material utilization and input data.
Flexible Setup: Allows for optional constraints on pitch, coil width, and blank rotation angle to suit equipment and product needs.
Multi-Part Nesting: Supports nesting of two different or mirrored parts manufactured together.
Interactive Results: Offers an interactive spreadsheet display to sort results by various parameters and view alternative layouts.
Exporting and Reporting: Exports nesting layouts in IGES or DXF formats and generates detailed reports.
