Nesting in 3-D
By optimizing machine functionality for laser tube cutting operations, fabricators save time and money
Nesting Software
A cut above
Two industry veterans offer equipment and software advice to help fabricators maximize their profitability
Industrial flow
Optimizing job flow through improvements in cutting, sorting and bending operations
Automated nesting
How upgrading CAM software saved a major semi-truck manufacturer and a steel fabricator upwards of $1 million each
Light speed
Quick-turn laser shops produce quotes in hours and parts in days, but there’s more to the story than speed
State of software
SecturaSoft’s Pierre Slabber provides insights on the direction fabrication software is taking today and in the near future
Bonding over business
The relationship forged by Cincinnati Inc. and Metamation shows how powerful a partnership can be
Heads up
Manufacturers profit from preventing laser head crashes before they occur – instead of responding after they happen
Before You Nest
Integrate CAD/CAM nesting software with an ERP system for improved efficiency
The Cloud Advantage
When fabricators leverage cloud-based technology, costs per part can be significantly reduced
