The nesting is an optional module which enables to optimize the positioning of multiple shapes in a stock. It is available in Wire EDM in the menu Design.

Many rules are similar to the nesting option of milling: click here to get further information.

A new Existing Stock checkbox has been added to the Nesting command dialog.

  • When enabled, the stock shape that is already defined within your current project file is automatically selected.

  • This provides greater flexibility over material usage by allowing you to nest parts onto custom or pre-defined stock geometries, moving beyond the sample library.

Some rules are specific to Wire EDM:

  • The shapes nested are obligatory punch shapes,

  • The geometries are 2D profiles, (not solids as in milling),

  • Threading holes must have been defined before, they will be duplicated during the nesting,

  • Connectors do not exist in wire edm.

Below is an example of 6 punch shapes nested.

You can work on already machined *.PCE files.

Clicking on ‘Add GO2cam files’ enables to open and nest *.PCE files.
