And sometimes this way will work perfect for you, but sometimes your parts may not fit properly and you may want to do this a different way. So right now you can see it fills up just about the entire sheet. You can change to further optimize the nesting strategy. So if we zoom out and click preview, you could see now it's filled up the sheet with 15 copies of each part. And now you'll see, it will create a copy with 15 of each of these parts. So we're gonna type in 15 and click apply. But just for this example, we have these parts selected.

You can set this clearance higher, so the parts spread out further.

So I have these settings set up here to work with a quarter inch tool, and this is set to go really close together. So in this particular lesson, we are not gonna get too in depth on all of these settings here, we're mostly gonna be focusing on the nest boundary option. If you're using the desktop versions, you will not have access to this tool. And then we are going to the nesting tool.Īnd this will only be available in the pro versions VvCarve Pro, Cut,2D Pro, or Aspire. So we're first going to select all of those parts. And this is just for our example here, we are going to be nesting these parts down here. So for this first example, we are working with a four foot by eight foot piece of material. So keep that in mind if you're using an older version. This will still apply to older versions, but the layout may look a little bit different. And for this lesson, I'm using version 11, so there were some changes to the nesting feature in version 11. So I'm gonna show you how to do that for material already made.Īnd then I'm also gonna show you how to nest parts in areas that are left over after you already do some nesting. So this will give you great yield out of your material and still be able to nest them quickly.

So in this quick tip, I'm gonna show you how to use this material, and nest parts into those shapes to be able to use up the most of your material. But sometimes it could be hard to enter that into your software to use that material up. So maybe you'll have a project you'll cut some parts out of, and then the material left over with is big enough to use for something. When you're working with CNC machines, a lot of times you are left with material that is odd shapes.
