Nester  -  Version  3 Nester can be used for creating individual complicated tool paths for 2-D and 3-D machines. Custom INI files are used to taylor Nester to your particular machine tool. Several working examples are provided. Nester is a low cost opportunity for small independent machine shops to convert their Cad DXF files or existing Gcode files into useful nested groups for their CNC and DNC equipment without the hassle of figuring out the geometry manually. A full function editor is provided up to one million line capacity to fine tune the file adding tool offsets etc. Numerous other options such as flipping the part, and scaling are provided. 'Swap' allows the direction of travel to be changed. File transfer both in an out is supported so this system can be hard wired to a machine tool via Rs232. Graph line color red = cutting to blue not cutting. Files can be saved and retrieved across a network. Standard ascii format is used for all files. Can be configured to support any axis combination. The characters associated with a command can be changed at will. Several examples are included in the samples directory.
