SigmaNEST X1.4, 64-Bit Nesting Software



HD Rectangular

SigmaTEK Systems has released the latest version of its CAD/CAM nesting software, SigmaNEST X1.4 with enhanced features and improvements.

With SigmaNEST X1.4, fabricators can expect to see increased speed and quality as the software allows machines to achieve peak performance.

SigmaNEST X1.4 introduces new innovations including:

  • Customizable ribbon toolbar
  • HD Rectangular Nesting Engine
  • Automatically discard internal cutouts when creating or importing medallion parts
  • Auto Single Hit on contours
  • Multi Drop Nesting for punch machines
  • Help file translation.

One commonly requested feature that SigmaNEST X1.4 delivers is the customizable ribbon toolbar. This function allows a user to create custom groups, display functions that are used most often and hide the ones that are not, add and remove functions from all groups and rearrange all groups and functions within the toolbar. This feature will save users time by removing any unnecessary clicks used to find each function within SigmaNEST. The customizable toolbar optimizes the user's experience.

SigmaNEST X1.4's new HD Rectangular Nesting Engine feature allows the user to nest rectangular parts with an average of a 3% increase in yield compared to the standard SigmaNEST rectangular nesting engine, optimizing material utilization.

Another new feature of SigmaNEST X1.4 is a Google Translate button that can translate the content into 12 different languages. This useful tool allows international users to be able to use the software in their native language and be more efficient with their time. This plugin is available in all Help Centers for easy access and use.

SigmaNEST X1.4 features the new Auto Single Hit function that automatically tools all single hits faster and more efficiently. This feature allows a user to choose whether to apply tooling to internal, external or all contours; be able to select which types of tools will be used; and automatically apply tooling to all single hit contours. Auto Single Hit saves users time and makes work more efficient because the user can now automatically tool all single punches without having to manually click on each one.

Jim Lindsey, Director and Product Manager at SigmaTEK, believes the new release will enable companies to improve their efficiency by saving time through more automated steps and utilizing the customizable features will allow each user to optimize their user experience. This new release covers improvements for every type of user and is one step closer to reaching complete automation."
