3D Nesting View
In the 3D nesting view you can see all the reconstructions or units that are in the material blank/puck that you selected from the Material Blank Library see "Material Blank Library". The block /puck can be rotaied by using the right button on the mouse including the scroll button for zooming. Right clicking on the reconstruction or unit will pop-up an new window for that specific reconstruction.
Here we see a mixed Block/Puck with reconstructions/units already milled in BLUE and newly added parts in GREEN ready for a new CAM process.
 | When you right click on a GREEN part or a BLUE part you will see these 2 different windows with additional options for each. |
Tool path creator
After you press the CAM button in the Nesting Actions section, a new window appears Tool path creator. Usually the reconstructions are automatically matched to a specific milling strategy and can be changed in this area.
