The release of integrates advanced 2D Nesting capabilities into the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, designed to help manufacturers reduce material waste and optimize production workflows. The Story of Efficient Manufacturing with 2D Nesting
Automatically selects the best sheet sizes from your inventory to minimize "tailings" or partial waste sheets. Siemens Solid Edge 2D Nesting 2025
| | Cons | | :--- | :--- | | Material Savings: Users can realistically expect 10-20% material savings compared to manual nesting. | Ecosystem Lock-in: It is effectively useless if you do not own the core Solid Edge CAD platform. | | Speed: The nesting engine is incredibly fast, capable of processing hundreds of parts in seconds. | 3D Limitations: While it handles 2D sheet metal perfectly, it is not a 3D true-shape nesting solution (for tubing or casting layout). | | Workflow Integration: Automatically generates NC code for common machines (Omax, Trumpf, etc.) directly from the nest. | Price: As a specialized module, the upfront cost is higher than cheap cloud-based standalone nesters. | The release of integrates advanced 2D Nesting capabilities
