Hypertherm ProNest 2019

Hypertherm has released ProNest 2019, a major version update of its advanced CAD/CAM nesting software for automated cutting.

New features include raster to vector conversion to quickly convert .jpeg and similar images into CAD files for cutting. It offers fly cutting for faster laser cutting on thin material, and the ability to pierce without slowing down or stopping the cutting head. Design2Fab 6 integration allows customers cutting sheet metal can access fittings directly from ProNest. It has drag rotation for faster manual nesting and even better plate utilization, especially when nesting around the contours of larger parts.

Highlights of this release include:

• Raster to vector for importing static image files and converting to CAD – watch sample video
• Fly cutting for faster motion in laser cutting applications
• Design2Fab 6 integration with ProNest
• Smart drag for easier manual nesting – watch sample video
• Ignore leads in cases where the lead size is insignificant and should not affect the spacing between parts
