MTC ProNest 8.02.01 is a specialized version of the legacy CAD/CAM nesting software originally developed by MTC Software (now part of Hypertherm
In previous versions, the torch would travel between parts without cutting. In 8.02.01, the intelligent pathing engine allows for . When two parts share a straight edge, the software cuts the line once for both parts. This reduces thermal distortion and slashes cutting time by up to 30%. MTC Pronest 8.02.01
Choose from the pre-loaded library: "A36 Steel – 3/8 thick." The software recalls kerf width (e.g., 0.060" for plasma) and feed rates. MTC ProNest 8
Gone are the days of rectangular bounding boxes. Version 8.02.01 utilizes algorithms. The software rotates and interweaves irregular shapes (like gears, brackets, or gussets) automatically to maximize plate utilization. Users typically report material savings of 5% to 15% compared to manual nesting. This reduces thermal distortion and slashes cutting time
To run smoothly, your hardware must meet specific thresholds:
