SigmaSUITE V23 delivers new nesting strategies and process optimization

SigmaNEST has released version 23 of its software suite. The package delivers new nesting strategies for real-world manufacturing that optimize part processing and workflow efficiency beyond classic nesting for material.

Workflow optimization and expanded control are central themes to the user experience for the version 23 suite. Also, three new Connected Shop apps help with shop floor management.

The suite features bump for tooled punch parts, relaxed nesting for improved skeleton integrity, optimized nesting for process and NC mechanics beyond yield alone.

Best Sheet with Mixed Grouping keeps parts of similar material together for those who program several days of work at once, or those who load sheets manually.

Several nesting features are now built in for HD Trueshape and HD Advanced Trueshape users, who will gain full access to stack nesting, multi-torch nesting for large parts, dynamic X & Y clearance, as well as improvements to Common Line nesting.

SigmaTUBE for SOLIDWORKS offer a better user interface with larger clearer icons, user-friendly report system with powerful editing tools to produce reports customized to the needs of your organization.

SigmaDEVELOP introduces a new shape to quickly produce the flat patterns for the step bend cone commonly used for utility/power transmission structures, SigmaBEND AP ensures support for the latest CAD file types and the LVD Touch-B press brake controller, and automatic recognition for the film side of imported parts.

SimTrans now supports enterprise control of distributive manufacturing between separate locations. This will benefit companies with multiple SimTrans installs and/or geographical sites requiring ERP data exchange.
