Software Upgrades Parts Nesting and Order Automation to Increase CAD/CAM Capabilities

JETCAM International s.a.r.l. (Monaco) launched v20.25.00 of their Expert Nesting software for CNC punch and profiling technologies. In this latest release, JET-Cut now applies fly cutting during the ‘tooling’ process, automatically identifying areas that can benefit. JET-Optimizer now creates the optimal cutting path while avoiding previously-cut areas. A new component simulator allows users to simulate the cutting of a single part, rather than having to create a nest with one component. Expert also has a powerful new report designer so that users can quickly create complex custom reports using drag and drop, changes to multi-tool logic and numerous interface enhancements. The release also contains various other customer requests and fixes, as well as four new postprocessors and updates to multiple existing postprocessor, now allowing more machines to take advantage of JET-Cut.

JETCAM also launched v3.19 of their Orders Controller (JOC) automation software, which has a new tool graph that displays the number of tool hits per nest when one or more nests are selected, which is useful when calculating the remaining life of a tool. New filtering options include the ability to filter components based on whether they are tooled for a specific machine, or to filter assemblies that include one or more component names. In JOC Premium Automation, the new Component Reprogramming option allows entire folders of components to be reprogrammed with a couple of clicks. When a new machine tool is purchased, all components can be automatically re-tooled for the new machine, ready for nesting. Both Expert and JOC applications are available for immediate download and are free to all users with a current maintenance contract.
