Uses a continuous improvement algorithm that searches for better layouts until stopped by the user.
You can stop early if you see >85% utilization, or let it run to max iterations (default 500). Siemens Solid Edge 2D Nesting 2025
Users can nest across multiple different sheet sizes simultaneously or use irregular "tailing" sheets to minimize leftover scrap. Uses a continuous improvement algorithm that searches for
One of the most requested features has been improved remnant handling. The 2025 version introduces a .
