Geometric NestingWorks is a powerful nesting software designed as a professional add-in for SolidWorks. It allows engineers, designers, and manufacturers to arrange 2D sheet metal parts in the most efficient layout. Optimizing material usage reduces waste, saves cost, and improves productivity in manufacturing industries.
Developed by Geometric Ltd., NestingWorks has become a trusted solution for CAD/CAM users worldwide. Whether you are working on small projects or large-scale production, this software ensures smooth workflow and higher efficiency.
Intelligent nesting: Unlike simple nesting tools that use rectangular enclosures, NestingWorks employs true-shape nesting to orient parts intelligently based on their actual geometry. This approach maximizes the number of parts that fit on a single sheet of stock.
Grain direction control: Users can specify the required grain direction for individual parts. The software then nests the parts according to that requirement.
Remnant management: The software can use and manage remnant or leftover sheets from previous jobs to maximize material usage over time.
Downstream compatibility: The 3D SOLIDWORKS assemblies created by NestingWorks can be used directly with CAM software, including CAMWorks, to generate toolpaths and G-code for manufacturing.
Operating System: Windows 10/11 (64-bit only).
Processor: Intel Core i5 / i7 or higher.
RAM: 8GB minimum (16GB recommended).
Hard Disk Space: 2GB of free space required.
Graphics Card: Compatible with SolidWorks graphics requirements.
Software: SolidWorks (supported versions: 2019 – 2025).
