NEW CASE STUDY: FETCO®

Bystronic laser nesting software case study

System paid for itself as well as the MES that it integrated with in under 6 months.

After purchasing JETCAM Expert with Ultra Performance Nesting as part of a larger investment alongside Aquila DMM, the entire project was paid for through a 20% reduction in material costs due to more efficient nesting. FETCO®'s material supplier was so concerned that they arranged an emergency meeting to find out why they were buying less material!

White paper nesting efficiency kit sorting

When nesting efficiency is only part of the story

Balancing material efficiency and kitting speed on the composite shop floor with progressive nesting.

Many of the savings made by efficient nests can be offset by the time it then takes to unload them for kitting. It explains and demonstrates different nesting strategies that allow you to find the perfect balance of efficiency against time. Read it free online now.

Guide to pre-preg composite material manufacturing software

Pre-preg composite material manufacturing guide

How software can streamline the processes of working with life-based materials

Working with pre-preg composite materials delivers many benefits to the finished product, but this is often offset by challenges during the manufacturing process, making composite parts more expensive than their traditional counterparts. ERP systems often do not accommodate the unique requirements of a composite shop floor, so what are the common problems and what can you do about it?

White paper improving CNC laser efficiency with software

Making your laser fly

Automation through software

The purchase of a new fiber laser is not an insignificant one. Yet often companies will overlook the relatively inexpensive cost of appropriate CAM and nesting software that could get significantly better performance out of their investment. Martin Bailey, General Manager of JETCAM explains techniques that can squeeze more performance out of your CNC laser.
