Inventor Nesting Push: Nesting Study

00:14

So all this work and we haven't seen a nest yet.

00:16

So this would be my next step.

00:18

I'm turning back on Auto Zoom, going back to 2D display mode and I zoom in on my extracted shapes.

00:31

So to create the actual nest from all our parts that we brought in from sources, you just start a new nesting study.

00:40

The nesting study will automatically use the default packagings.

00:45

Those are the packagings with the bold text in the material library.

00:50

And you can influence the number of hoppers that you create to increase efficiency.

00:57

So in this case, I will produce a nest for five of these hoppers.

01:02

That's why I increase the Job Quantity to 5.

01:06

And I'm using length by width remnant optimization and I put my nest in the lower left corner, and let's see how that works.

01:19

There is a calculate panel here that shows you the progress and the efficiency that you obtain.

01:26

So this is the result of the nest.

01:28

So this clearly, I'm using for one of these parts, a nest packaging that is way too large.

01:39

And this is for that knife.

01:42

So the packaging that I'm using here, et cetera, is packaging 7, that's what the header of the nest gives me.

01:50

So to clearly mitigate that, let's say I'm going to something like 5 by 3.

01:58

But because these are really small parts, so...

02:03

and I regenerate that nest for that particular... for that take part.

02:09

So this is how it looks like.

02:11

You will also see that the shape got rotated.

02:15

And how can I see that easily?

02:17

Well, there is another display mode that shows me the Nested Orientation.

02:23

So you now see that each part that has been rotated gets a different color, and the same for the other nest here.

02:36

So some of these parts got rotated.
