Free 2D Nesting Tool for CNC Cut Optimization | Maximize Material Use
Learn how to maximize your sheet material usage with a free 2D nesting tool, Deep Nest—perfect for CNC cutting any shape! In this video I'm talking about the program that I use whenever I need to fit pieces on a sheet stock. No matter the shape of the pieces or of the stock, it optimizes everything very good and very fast. You can use different shape stock pieces in the same project, you can set multiple instances of the object and you can choose between multiple optimization parameters. It also works great for laser, as it can remove overlapping lines. It can import and export SVG files and DXF files. You’ll discover: How to import multiple parts into a nesting tool Automatically arrange shapes to minimize waste and optimize layout Export optimized cut paths for any CNC system 0:00 Introduction | Free 2D Nesting Software + Blender CAM CNC Workflow 0:52 Full Workflow Overview: Blender Text → DeepNest Optimization → CNC Toolpath → G-Code Export 1:30 Creating & Editing Text in Blender | Join Objects for CNC Cutting 3:50 Exporting Curves as SVG from Blender for CNC Nesting 4:46 Installing DeepNest Free Nesting Software & Importing SVG from Blender 7:28 Defining CNC Sheet Stock Size & Shape in DeepNest 8:31 DeepNest Parameters Explained | Setup for CNC Cut Optimization 11:32 Running 2D Nesting | Choosing the Best Optimized Layout & Exporting SVG 12:34 Importing Optimized SVG from DeepNest into Blender for CAM Setup 13:48 Installing Fabex CNC Add-on in Blender CAM 14:37 Creating a CNC Operation Using Collections of Objects in Blender 15:05 Profile Cutout Operation Setup | Milling Letters with Blender CAM 18:06 Fixing Toolpath Errors in Blender CAM 18:29 Improving CNC Toolpaths with Adjustments & Re-Generation 19:40 Adding Bridges (Tabs) for CNC Cutting & Generating Toolpaths Again 21:04 Exporting G-Code from Blender CAM for CNC Milling 21:43 DeepNest Advanced Feature: Nesting on Scrap or Irregular Sheet Stock 23:30 Importing Scrap Stock Nesting SVG & Generating CNC Toolpaths 24:35 DeepNest Feature: Nesting with Multiple Different Shapes 25:42 DeepNest Feature: Nesting with Multiple Copies of Similar Objects 26:13 Final CNC Milling Tip & Cutting the Nested Layout The link to the GitHub page of Deep Nest: https://github.com/deepnest-next/deep...
