In Booth A4442, SigmaTEK Systems, LLC (Cincinnati, OH) will display the latest version of their superior SigmaNEST X1.3 CAD/CAM nesting software that offers new features and significant improvements as part of their on-going commitment to delivering elegant software through continuous innovation. The most advanced organizations around the world are using SigmaNEST to help them complete mission-critical work. With SigmaNEST X1.3, fabricators can expect to see increased speed and quality as the software allows their machines to achieve peak performance. This release introduces a multitude of additional innovations, including:
- New CAD Repair Geometry
- New PDF and Image Import Modules
- New Task Parameter Dialog Box
- Enhanced features for punching
- New Common Line Punch Features
- New SigmaNEST help Center
SigmaNEST is now available as a 64-bit program, giving the software access to more memory on computers with a 64-bit operating system. In addition, nesting improvements now allow the HD TrueShape Plus nesting engine to operate faster and more efficient than ever and provide the best yield possible. SigmaNEST X1.3 also contains an advanced Pre-Form Punching feature that protects parts with formed features from damage by reordering the interfering hits, designating a “crush zone” around each forming hit, and comparing it to the station diameter of nearby hits. If these zones overlap, the nearby hits are designated as pre-form punching hits, which can be reordered in Tool Sort. This update allows for greater efficiency and less wasted valuable material.
