ProNest 2021 ®
CAD/CAM nesting software
ProNest CAD/CAM part nesting software for advanced
mechanized cutting is designed to supercharge your
cutting operation, helping you achieve greater automation,
efficiency, and profitability. Brought to you by the cutting
experts at Hypertherm, ProNest can optimize performance
for plasma, laser, waterjet, and oxyfuel cutting machines.
Benefits Standard feature highlights
Material cost saving Machine support
Powerful, high yield nesting reduces your • All major brands/manufacturers/models
material costs and increases profitability.
Part design and development
Ease of use
• Integrated 2D CAD program to create and edit CAD files
Incredibly easy to learn and use, with intuitive
• Variable Shape Parts feature to develop common parts
screens, and a wide variety of helpful features.
from templates
Breakthrough technologies CAD/CAM import and conversion
ProNest is the only software that provides • Import CAD files (industry-standard file formats)
full support for Hypertherm’s SureCut™
• Import PDF
technologies including True Hole® and Rapid
Part™, which are delivered automatically • Raster to vector converts static images to CAD
without operator intervention, and True Bevel™ • Import Bill of Materials properties from CAD files
which greatly reduces bevel set up time. • Automatic CAD file correction and error notification
• Automatic spline/ellipse smoothing and reduction
Increased productivity • Separate multiple parts from a single CAD file
Modules like Common Line Cutting and Chain
• Automatic mapping of CAD layers to processes
and Bridge Cutting can increase efficiency,
(cut, mark)
and reduce cutting time and consumable wear.
• Automatic update of nest for part revisions
Unlimited technical support • Automatic part corner radiusing for optimized laser
cycle time and part quality
Unlimited access to technical support,
training, and software updates is included
with your purchase.
