How to Use Inventor Nesting 2013 Win64 to Optimize Your Material Yield

Inventor Nesting is a software that helps you optimize the yield from flat raw material. It is integrated with Inventor, a 3D CAD software that lets you design and document your products. Inventor Nesting 2013 Win64 is compatible with Windows 64-bit operating systems.

In this article, we will show you how to use Inventor Nesting 2013 Win64 to create efficient and cost-effective nests for your projects. You will learn how to:

• Import or create 2D or 3D models of your parts and assemblies

• Define your nesting parameters, such as material type, thickness, sheet size, orientation, spacing, and quantity

• Generate multiple sheet nests in a single study, allowing for different material and packaging options

• Compare the efficiency and costs associated with different nesting studies to maximize your profitability

• Export your nests as DXF files for cutting or as BOM reports for documentation

By following these steps, you will be able to use Inventor Nesting 2013 Win64 to optimize your material yield and reduce your waste and costs.

Step 1: Import or Create Your Models

The first step is to import or create your models of the parts and assemblies that you want to nest. You can do this in two ways:

• Use the Nesting Utility add-in in Inventor to import existing 2D or 3D models from various file formats, such as IPT, IAM, DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, etc. You can also create new models using the sketching and modeling tools in Inventor.

• Use the Nesting Utility Standalone application to import existing 2D models from DXF files. You can also create new models using the sketching tools in the application.

Once you have imported or created your models, you can edit them as needed using the editing tools in Inventor or Nesting Utility Standalone. You can also assign properties to your models, such as material type, thickness, quantity, priority, etc.

Step 2: Define Your Nesting Parameters

The next step is to define your nesting parameters, such as material type, thickness, sheet size, orientation, spacing, and quantity. You can do this in two ways:

• Use the Nesting Utility add-in in Inventor to define your nesting parameters in the Nesting Study dialog box. You can access this dialog box by clicking on the Nesting Study button in the Nesting Utility tab.

• Use the Nesting Utility Standalone application to define your nesting parameters in the Nesting Parameters dialog box. You can access this dialog box by clicking on the Nesting Parameters button in the toolbar.

In both cases, you can choose from a list of predefined materials or create your own custom materials. You can also specify the sheet size and orientation for each material type. You can adjust the spacing between parts and sheets, as well as the quantity of parts and sheets that you want to nest.

Step 3: Generate Multiple Sheet Nests in a Single Study

The third step is to generate multiple sheet nests in a single study, allowing for different material and packaging options. You can do this in two ways:

• Use the Nesting Utility add-in in Inventor to generate multiple sheet nests by clicking on the Create Nests button in the Nesting Study dialog box. You can view the results of your nesting study in the Nesting Browser, which shows you the number of sheets used, the material utilization percentage, and the total cost for each nest.

• Use the Nesting Utility Standalone application to generate multiple sheet nests by clicking on the Create Nests button in 51082c0ec5
