Optimise material yield with automatic detection of material, thickness and part quantity.
Generate setup, toolpaths and NC code directly within the Fusion 360 Nesting & Fabrication Extension.
Create customisable reports, nest parts from multiple documents and specify part rotation constraints.
Nesting & Fabrication Extension
Extend nesting and fabrication capabilities, including multi-sheet nesting, setup/toolpaths and NC code creation, customisable reports and automatic detection of material, thickness and part quantity.
Nest preparation
Quickly prepare your model for nesting and set nesting parameters per material for optimal stock usage.
Compare and report
Configure and view key metrics like cost, material usage and stack size for earlier job quoting and purchasing decisions.
Fabrication
Create toolpaths to drive a variety of machines with fully integrated and easy-to-use CAM.
Nesting software provides the ability to optimise the design and manufacture of multi-sheet layouts for sheet metal and non-sheet metal parts in preparation for cutting on CNC machines.
