Astra R-Nesting Material Layout Optimizer

Key Features of Astra R-Nesting

• Astra R-Nesting is a material layout optimizer designed for the manufacturing and construction industries.
• "Nesting" refers to the process of arranging parts on a sheet of raw material (such as plywood, metal, or glass) to minimize waste.
• This software solves the complex geometric puzzle of fitting rectangular and non-rectangular shapes onto stock sheets, potentially saving businesses significant money on material costs.
• The software is widely used in furniture production, glass cutting, and metalworking.
• Users input the dimensions of the "stock" (the sheets they have in inventory) and the "parts" (the items they need to cut).
• Astra R-Nesting then calculates the most efficient cutting diagram, often finding arrangements that a human operator would miss.
• It allows for the management of offcuts (reusable scraps), ensuring they are prioritized for future jobs.
• The software generates detailed reports and cutting maps that can be printed for the machine operator or exported to CNC machines.
• By automating the layout process, it increases throughput and reduces the volume of scrap material sent to the landfill.
