We announce the release of ProNest® 2019, a major version update of our advanced CAD/CAM nesting software for automated cutting. This new release contains more than a dozen new features and enhancements designed to make customers more efficient and productive. New features include:
• Raster to vector conversion to quickly convert .jpeg and similar images into CAD files for cutting
• Fly cutting for faster laser cutting on thin material, and the ability to pierce without slowing down or stopping the cutting head
• Design2Fab® 6 integration so customers cutting sheet metal can access fittings directly from ProNest
• Drag rotation for faster manual nesting and even better plate utilization, especially when nesting around the contours of larger parts
Regardless of cutting method – plasma, laser, waterjet, oxyfuel, or combination punch – ProNest 2019 builds on an already strong foundation to ensure you have the features you need to improve your productivity and profitability. ProNest is the only software with full support for Hypertherm SureCut technology. At the same time, this new version continues to offer greater automation of the cutting process through smart factory and Industry 4.0 tools, and ERP/MRP integration.
We are also releasing upgrades to ProNest LT and ProNest LTS software for light industrial and entry-level cutting environments.
