Autodesk Inventor Nesting 2024

Introduction to Autodesk Inventor Nesting 2024

Autodesk Inventor Nesting 2024 is a CAD-embedded, true-shape nesting software that helps optimize yield from flat raw material. This software is available only as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.

Overview

Autodesk Inventor Nesting Utility is CAD-embedded sheet metal nesting software that works inside Autodesk Inventor software. It helps optimize yield from flat raw material by creating and updating nesting studies to reflect any changes in the design. Users can easily compare nesting studies, optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and export 3D models or DXF files for cutting path generation.

Features

• Generate multiple sheet nests to reduce raw material waste and optimize material use in flat-cutting operations.
• Nest sheet metal parts and assemblies modeled in Inventor or import DXF files directly within the nesting workspace.
• Create 3D models of a nest, generate cutting paths using Inventor CAM, or export DXF files for use in other toolpath-making software.
• Quickly review and compare reports for each nesting study to get details like overall efficiency, total cost, and machining time.

Use Cases

• Manufacturing businesses looking to optimize raw material yield and reduce costs in sheet metal fabrication.
• Design engineers wanting to streamline the nesting process within their Autodesk Inventor workflow.
• Fabrication shops aiming to increase efficiency and productivity in cutting operations.
