We announce the release of ProNest® 2021, a major version update of its advanced CAD/CAM nesting software for automated cutting. This release contains features and enhancements designed to make customers more efficient and profitable.
These features include:
• Redesigned 2D CAD package: improved font support, ability to shape text, and other new features that are especially popular among sign makers.
• CAD editor preference allows users to set a default CAD program for edits to parts in the ProNest part list. Select the embedded ProNest CAD software or choose a third-party software such as AutoCAD.
• Part report: allows quick opening of the part list so users can add individual part reports with an image of the part, plus dimensions, size, material, class, process, costing information, and more.
• Interior bridge cutting allows to add bridges to text and other interior geometry so that pieces don’t drop when cut. This helps minimize interior cutouts on parts for aesthetic purposes and reduces tip-ups.
“ProNest 2021 builds on the strong foundation of ProNest 2019 to make the programming process more efficient,” said Tom Stillwell, Marketing Project Manager for Hypertherm CAD/CAM software products. “Whether using plasma, waterjet, laser, or oxyfuel cutting, this new version provides the powerful tools fabricators and manufacturers need to increase material savings, boost productivity, lower operating costs, and improve part quality.”
In addition, we are releasing upgrades to our ProNest LT software for lighter production environments.
We encourage Business partners to update to the latest version which is available for download in the Hypertherm CAM Knowledge Base. If you have an active Maintenance Plan or Software Subscription you will also be able to access this update through the Knowledge Base.
