The Most Accurate Tool for Nesting Sheet Metal Blanks on Progressive Die Strips for Estimators and Tool Engineers
| • |
Process 50 times more quotes than manual calculations |
| • |
More accurate scrap estimates for material rebates |
| • |
Quickly and accurately estimates the progression and coil width requirements |
| • |
Reduces collaboration lag (time to communicate a change and obtain feedback), and hence results in 50% less engineering changes, since the analysis is current with the geometry |
| • |
Drastic reduction of risk related to inaccurate material cost calculations; reduces supplier variation between estimate and actual costs from 25% to within 1-2% |
FEATURES:
| • |
Produces fully optimized nesting layouts for 1-out, 2-out and mirrored progressive die configurations |
| • |
Constrains progression, coil width, and blank rotation to ensure the layout is compatible with manufacturing equipment |
| • |
Calculates accurate cost per blank based on supplied input data and material utilization |
| • |
Material cost calculation considers variations in thickness and coil width |
| • |
All results are stored in the standard CATPart file for ease of PLM integration |
| • |
User input for distance between blanks, distance to edge of coil, carrier allowance and carrier width |
