Hypertherm announced a version upgrade to its ProNest advanced CAD/CAM nesting software for automated cutting. New features include manual nesting improvements, including drag array, anchor part to cursor and automatic bumping functionality for greater control and faster nesting; color by part property that fills parts with different colors based on a designated attribute and ProNest reports that show fill colors in part images making it easier to locate parts; and redesigned drill machine interface for plasma or oxyfuel machines that incorporate drilling, tapping and other spindle operations to tackle jobs in ProNest.
