Autonest FX 9.8: Advanced CAD/CAM Nesting Software

Autonest FX 9.8 is a specialized nesting software designed to maximize material utilization for CNC punch presses, laser cutters, plasma tables, and routers. It intelligently arranges part shapes onto raw sheets to minimize waste and generate efficient tool paths.

???? Primary Users

  • Sheet Metal & Woodworking Manufacturers optimizing material yield for laser, punch, plasma, and router cutting.

  • CNC Programmers generating NC code for automated cutting machines.

  • Production Managers reducing scrap rates and managing remnant inventory.

  • Job Shops & Fabricators processing high-mix, low-volume parts efficiently.

⚡ Key Features

  • True Shape Nesting: Algorithm to pack parts closely regardless of geometry.

  • Common Line Cutting: Eliminates double-cutting between adjacent parts to save time.

  • Remnant Management: Tracks off-cuts and reuses leftovers automatically.

  • Multi-Tool Support: Handles punching, forming, and marking tools in a single process.

  • CAD Integration: Direct import of DXF, DWG, and IGES files.

???? What’s New in Version 9.8

  • Enhanced Nesting Algorithm: Improved speed for complex, multi-sheet jobs.

  • Improved Remnant Handling: Better automatic identification of reusable skeletons.

  • Machine Toolkit Updates: Expanded support for newer CNC control models.
