Astra Nesting Solution is a complete cutting software package for rectangular nesting and true-shape nesting. Both jobs are accomplished by the two applications included in this software package. The rectangular nesting component is called Astra R-Nesting and is designed for optimizing the cutting of any materials and minimizing the number of off-cuts. You can use the software to print labels and reports as well, and export your layouts directly to CNC cutting machines. You can also use this solution to calculate the cost of orders and print out invoices. The other component of the software is called Astra S-Nesting, a complete solution for true-shape nesting. This helps to make the process as quick as possible by deploying a number of intuitive tools which allow you to import parts from just about any computer aided design system. Again, layouts can be quickly and precisely edited and data can also be output to cutting machines.
