Core Functionality & Specialized Use hypertherm pronest lt
- Import bracket.dxf → automatic scaling check.
- Select material (A36, 0.25″) → cutting parameters load.
- Set part quantity = 40 → click Auto-Nest.
- Software evaluates 3–5 layout iterations (takes ~10 seconds).
- Result: 2 sheets required, 87% material utilization.
- Post-process → transfer G-code via USB or network to CNC.
- Time saved: ~15 minutes vs. manual nesting; ~2 minutes vs. generic CAM.
- The Benefit: Immediate reduction in material scrap (often saving 5–15% on material costs), paying for the software investment quickly.
