 NESTMASTER solutions for your cutting problems

NestMaster is an innovative program for nesting. Thanks to its versatility, it can be used in many
different industries such as: furniture, automotive, composites, textiles or technical textiles, leather
wares, gaskets, advertising balloons, parachutes and more.
As a result of properly configuration, it surprises with many functions that are essential
for working with materials in any branches. NestMaster offers the creation of markers using
an interactive and automatic nesting of elements on desired material. An interactive nesting application,
based on digital projection makes templates visible and accurately nested on the material. Another
advantages of NestMaster are: ease of detection leather defects and permanence of directionality
of nested elements. All of this features allows cut perfectly-shaped elements and minimize area of non-
-used material.
The algorithms used for process of automatic nesting are the best solutions available
on the market. As opposed to rolled materials, full-hide leathers requires an individual algorithm
of nesting. NestMaster can be equipped with additional algorithm for leather, called Autonest Leather
or special algorithm for rolled materials – Autonest Textile.

What NestMaster offers:

 defining of a schedule while creating a new markers;
 manual definition of the amount of models/components for the plan or automatic import of these
information from other databases;

 adjustment of nesting parameters such as: size of the material, terms of rotation, amount
of elements in the model, buffer between the elements, possibility of cutting on common lines or
not and many others;

 possibility of positioning the product above the marker,

where colors facilitate the choice of an appropriate model
and/or an element to place;

 highly-productive automatic arrangement system

of defined plans on the material, which enables fast
cutting and minimizes material waste considerably;

 nesting elements on striped materials;

 interactive nesting with the projection of the elements,

for precise positioning ones on the material, avoid defects
or to use the remaining scraps of material;

 full control over the nested elements to maximize

precision of positioning on the material; possibility
of any rotation, making mirror images, arranging
on the X and Y axis, buffer change etc.;

 verification of the quality of nested markers like length,

efficiency of the arrangement or the percentage
of the production waste,

 possibility of working with groups of elements;

 optimizing of the cutting order;

 adjusting parameters of markers

individually for each user, such as colors,
description of the elements on the screen, tool
checklists etc.;

 defining profiles of markers for particular

materials, products etc.;

 ability to work with many of markers

at the same time, for example automatic nesting
of one marker and interactive arrangement
of the other one;

 possibility of sending markers to many

devices working in a network;

 creating full statistics of work of cutter

to have a constant viewing of the efficiency
of the device and workers.

The biggest advantage of creating markers using NestMaster is the huge saving of material that reaches
up to 5% of cut material and friendly, easy to use interface.

Accessories (MODULES)
IMPORT

This module allows import of elements’ templates and markers from most CAD systems available
on the market such as: AutoCAD, BrissCAD, Lectra, Gerber, Assyst etc. Models can be imported from
standard formats such as DXF, HPGL, ISO, AAMA etc. We can make a special import application
for all CAD programs.

Cutting Simulation
It is a perfect tool for proper planning of the whole production process. It enables to define the time
of cutting the marker and to check and change the optimization parameters of the cutting process when
necessary. Thanks to this, the risk of cutting out a wrong element and consequently increasing the waste
is minimized.

Autonest LEATHER

A special, highly productive algorithm

for arranging elements on natural leather.
The algorithm is dedicated to highly specific
leather work, it takes into consideration areas
of quality on the leather and on elements
templates. Through this, we can reach
the effectiveness up to 80% in less than
5 minutes, depending of the leather.
It enables the cutter to work constantly
and without any stops in production, resulting
in a very high efficiency.

Autonest TEXTILE

A special algorithm for arranging elements on rolled materials. It allows to minimize the waste of textile
to few percent only. Savings in time and the material may be so huge that, depending of the size
of production, investing in this module pays back after few days only. There is a possibility to import
ready-made markers created in other CAD systems and optimize them to reach better results of cutting.
Using our algorithm, you can define all the restrictions concerning possible rotations, arrangement along
the warp etc.. Zero-buffer between the cut elements and option of the common cutting lines in one
operation guarantees increase the productivity of the system of about 10% !

CAMERA (PHOTODETECTION)
The possibility of fast and precision relocation of the shape of the material to the computer memory
is especially needed while working with leather. Another important matter is measuring the size
of the leather and detection of previously-tagged defects and zones of quality. The Camera plug-in
of the NestMaster enables making both actions at once. Taking a split of a second, it is the fastest way
of leather scanning available on the market. In result, the efficiency of the leather-dedicated systems
increases significantly. The entire scanning process with automatic nesting of the take less than
5 minutes.

Moreover, this plug-in can be used for innovative photo-

-digitizing of the templates. The application scans templates,
cutters and signed quality zones very precisely. Thanks
to this, the necessity of using expensive, slowly working large
format digitizers is eliminated. Such a method
is incomparably faster than the process of traditional
digitization.

PROJECTION
Materials with undefined shape such as leather or patterned cloth require from the modern CAD/CAM
system the projection of elements on the material. NestMaster as the only CAD/CAM system offers user
possibility of interactive arranging virtual templates on the material. The operator places the elements
exactly where they ought to be cut, taking into account the pattern on the material, defects
and directional pull of leather. An additional advantage of the projection system is the possibility of using
all major wastes – the risk of incorrect positioning elements on wastes of the material is minimized
because of advanced system of virtual positioning on the material, using digital projection.

SNT – Separated Nesting Table with Bar Codes

This module is designed for working with leather. It enables scanning leather hides on a separated table,
making full documentation of this process and nesting of elements on leathers. Autonest Leather
is a dedicated algorithm that arranges templates, avoiding defects and recognizing areas of quality
optimally. The next step is the printing and placing the bar code on the leather; then the signed ones
are queuing. There is no need to re-scan the same leather hide on the table before the process of cutting
– we can just scan the bar code - the leather will be recognized by the system and the cutter
will be ready to work.

Plot Manager

This is a special application that connects the Nestmaster with the cutter using a series connection
or USB. It allows to control and manage the data queue sent to the cutter: to begin cutting, stop cutting
or cancel of process. Additionally, the program monitors entire communication between the software
and the plotter and generates essential data needed for creating full reports on the system work
by the CutStatistic.

MiniPDS

MiniPDS is a very smart and universal construction program. It allows to create model templates
in industries such as: technical textiles, automotive, furniture, composites and others in a very intuitive
way. Additionally, it enables to export created templates to DXF format.

The most important advantage of MiniPDS is the ability of digitizing templates in many different ways.
This software cooperates with digitizers of many sizes, scanners, and most importantly,
with the innovative method of photo-digitization of the templates. Furthermore, thanks to the IMPORT
plug-in, it can import created templates from other CAD programs available on the market and then edit
them by changing shapes, evening the lines, adding notches, marking quality zones, adding lines
of cutting and more.
MiniPDS offers many of functions seen in expensive competitive programs at a very reasonable price.

Sorting Manager

Sorting Manager is a new method on sorting (gathering) the cut-out

elements in single-layer systems. The process of mixing cut plans
with different sizes and styles (if it is possible) improves
the efficiency of automatic nesting, but from the other side makes
the process of collecting cut elements much more complicated.
In response to this problem, the KSM company made a solution
to prepare ready to sew sets of cut elements – the Sorting Manager
application.

Sorting Manager is an unique cut-outs projection system which maximally simplifies the process
of gathering cut elements. Its uniqueness is based on the fact that it is completely configurable and easy
to use. The sequence of collected elements is defined depending on the production process
in the company. There is no need to know all of the patterns being used by the operator. The projector
highlights with colors all elements ready to collect. Our system guarantees lack of brakes in the cutter
work needed for matching the elements; it also eliminates human errors and allows to reduce
the number of required service.
