Nesting · The engine under the floor
Cut more parts from every sheet.
AccuFAB turns your work orders into tight nests and machine-ready NC code. It makes the programming and nesting calls automatically, so you pull more parts from every sheet and spend less time cutting them.

Material is your biggest cost
Loose nests and idle tables eat the margin on every job.
Every job pays for the material it wastes and the minutes the table sits waiting on a program.

Scrap from loose nests eating your margin

The laser idle, waiting on programming

Yield and cut time
Same parts. See the yield.
One order, nested two ways. Drag from manual to AccuFAB and watch the sheet fill, the common lines share, and the cost drop.

How it fits
Work order to machine‑ready code, automatically.
AccuFAB imports your CAD, tools each part with leads, tabs, and destruct cuts, nests parts onto raw stock, and posts to the exact NC your machine runs. SmartPart makes the programming calls, CommonSense shares cut lines where it pays, and KitSense keeps assemblies together, all without manual programming.
It takes advantage of your laser’s high-speed cutting features to pull more parts from every sheet while guaranteeing part quality.

At a glance
What AccuFAB does.
-
CommonSense cutting
Shares a cut between two parts, but only when it pays. The biggest saving is cut time, not just material.
-
SmartPart automation
Makes the critical programming and nesting decisions so an operator does not have to.
-
KitSense assemblies
Groups an assembly’s parts into one nest so they are cut together, instead of arriving across three sheets.
-
Machine-ready NC
Posts to the exact code your table runs, with the cut conditions your machine maker supplies.
-
Remnant-aware
A remnant is raw stock like any other sheet, so the drop from the last job is material for the next one.
-
Picks the sheet size
One material, several sheet sizes on the rack. AccuFAB nests the job on the size that yields best.
-
Work orders in, not keyed in
Work orders arrive as a file in AccuFAB’s own format, straight from the business system you already run. Or it runs stand-alone.
What changes on the floor
More parts, less time, no hand programming.
-
More parts per sheet
Tighter nests pull more finished parts from the same stock, protecting your margin.
-
The table keeps cutting
Shared cuts and automatic programming keep the laser cutting instead of waiting. Cut time is the biggest saving.
-
No manual programming
SmartPart makes the calls, so throughput does not hang on one programmer.
-
Margin protected, not chased
Tighter nests protect material margin, balanced against your due dates, not a vanity utilization number.
