Advantages of CNC Nesting Software

Investing in high quality nesting software is a strategic move for any fabrication shop looking to bridge the gap between "good enough" and maximum profitability. While your Machitech system provides the hardware precision, the software serves as the brain of the operation, determining how every inch of material is utilized.

To ensure our customers achieve these results, we are top level partners with industry leaders like Hypertherm, Lantek and PypeServer to provide the most powerful programming tools available.

Precision Plasma Control with Hypertherm ProNest

For our plasma systems, we utilize Hypertherm ProNest and ProNest LT as the gold standard. These solutions provide more than just basic part layout; they offer deep integration with your machine's hardware.

• Maximum Material Yield: Both ProNest and ProNest LT utilize high yield nesting algorithms to minimize skeletons and maximize plate usage. Features like Common Line Cutting allow parts to share a single cut edge, saving material and reducing consumable wear.
• SureCut™ Technology: Using ProNest on a Machitech system unlocks True Hole and True Bevel capabilities. These features automatically apply the correct process parameters to deliver bolt ready holes and perfect bevels without manual trial and error.
• Scalable Power: Whether you need the enterprise level automation of ProNest or the streamlined, light industrial focus of ProNest LT, your shop gains a professional workflow that reduces programming time from hours to minutes.

Advanced Laser Solutions with Lantek

For our laser cutting solutions, Machitech leverages the power of Lantek to master both plate and tube processing. This is critical for shops that require extreme precision across multiple dimensions.

• Lantek Expert Cut: This specialized software for flat sheet metal fabrication offers advanced algorithms that optimize the laser path. It ensures high speed and precision while protecting the material from heat distortion through intelligent lead in and lead out placement.
• Lantek Flex3d: When dealing with complex structural shapes, Flex3d serves as the definitive tool for tube and pipe processing. It allows for the seamless integration of 3D designs with our hardware, making it easy to program intricate joints and profiles.
• Unified Workflow: By utilizing Lantek, we provide a unified environment that handles everything from simple 2D profiles to complex 3D geometries with industry leading efficiency.

Fully Automated Pipe Cutting with PypeServer Software

For high volume pipe and tube fabrication, the PypeServer software integration on Machitech machines provides a seamless bridge between BIM/CAD designs and the shop floor. This powerful software excels at importing complex data directly from platforms like Revit and AutoCAD, automatically calculating the most efficient nested cuts for long sections of pipe. By utilizing PypeServer, operators can easily manage hole patterns, end preps, and complex joints with minimal manual input. The software’s intuitive interface significantly reduces the learning curve while its advanced logic minimizes material waste and prevents costly errors in structural pipe assemblies.

Automation and Integration

Modern fabrication is about the entire ecosystem. Whether you are using the ProNest suite, Lantek or PypeServer, these tools act as a central hub, connecting with your ERP/MRP systems to manage inventory and streamline quoting. This connectivity allows your operators to spend less time behind a screen and more time keeping the machines running.

By pairing a Machitech system with these elite software packages, you aren't just buying a machine; you are investing in a system designed to lower your operating costs and boost your bottom line from day one.
