The part shape wraps around the punch tool body or hits the upper machine beam during the bend sequence.

ByNest calculates the most efficient layout of parts onto raw sheet metal stock. It generates the exact NC cutting paths for Bystronic laser cutting and waterjet cutting machines. The engine balances speed against material savings. Module 4: ByBend (Bending CAM)

Recently, I ran into a slow nesting time issue. I was about to call technical support ($$$), but I opened the manual to the "Optimization Settings" section. Buried in a footnote was a checkbox labeled "Multi-threading for large assemblies." I clicked it. My processing time dropped from 12 minutes to 45 seconds.

is a modular CAD/CAM software suite designed to streamline sheet metal processing, including laser cutting and bending. The system is built around four primary modules that guide a user from initial design to production monitoring. Core Software Modules Sheet Processing (2D):

Enter the job name, customer details, and production order number. Step 2: Import Parts and Define Quantities

Click to select items from your saved database library. Specify the required production Quantity for each part.

Minimum distance between the outer contours of adjacent nested parts. Margin reserved around the perimeter of the raw sheet. Common Cut

Select standard sheet sizes (e.g., 4x8 or 5x10 feet) or input custom remnant sheet dimensions from previous jobs.

Bystronic BySoft 7 is a premier CAD/CAM software suite built for the sheet metal processing industry. It bridges the gap between raw design files and finished physical parts. By automating nesting, cutting, and bending processes, BySoft 7 maximizes material utilization while reducing machine downtime.
