Take your nesting process to the next level with advanced nesting software
SWOOD Nesting helps woodworkers to control every step of their workflow, from project source management to flip optimization and CAM simulation, all seamlessly integrated into SOLIDWORKS®.

Nesting SOFTWARE for millwork industry
Actually, SWOOD Nesting is a add-on to SWOOD CAM which offers:
✔ Automatically nest all parts directly from your 3D assemblies.
✔ Nest parts from multiple projects and materials in one process.
✔ Preserve wood grain orientation.
✔ Create CNC programs ready to use on the machine.
✔ Easily define flip direction (X or Y), set the program origin, and visually validate flipped panels and two-face machining.
✔ Create reports, cutting lists and labels in different formats.

How can nesting software optimize your CNC workflow?
SAVE TIME
With the nesting module, replace the need to saw the panels before starting the machining of the parts. All contouring and 3-axis machining is done directly on the CNC nesting machine.
REDUCE Waste
SWOOD Nesting allows the nesting of all the parts in a project to optimize the raw material. Moreover, the manual nesting feature can move the parts in case of damage to a part of the nesting sheets.
integration
Since all SWOOD solutions are interconnected, changes made in the design area are automatically reflected in the manufacturing area. The CNC machine programs can therefore be updated, as well as the associated Nesting programs.
Main advantages
- Nest multiple projects to optimize production.
- Our nesting solution optimize trajectories and save up to 20% of milling time.
- Send all the programs to the CNCs in one click to optimize the manufacturing process.
- Design changes are instantly detected, and all part toolpaths are updated in programs in one click.
- The development of our own postprocessors over the last 30 years ensures optimum machine compatibility.
