Couldn’t do it without Sigmanest

Sigmanest has Engineers that help with problems. They use the problems to update their software and periodically they will put out a new version.

The program is easy to learn and auto nest is a good feature. CAD tools should however improve

auto nest. This saves me a lot of time and gets my job done quickly. Most of the time you do not have to think a lot on nesting odd shapes on odd offcuts. I also love that sigmanest keeps offcuts of different materials in a database. This makes us work more efficiently and keep a well-orgised workshop
