Patrick Fritsch 62 Posted October 25, 2018 Hi, I thought I saw somewhere a Marionette network for nesting geometric shape parts within a rectangle. I need this to layout parts quickly on a plywood sheet for CNC cutout. Here's an example, Anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post

STERNontwerp 9 Posted October 25, 2018 The picture looks similar to a file I once downloaded: ObjectInfoByLayerExample.vwx . I think it was made by DomC, but I can't find it on the forum anymore. I have attached it, hope DomC won't mind. I haven't worked with it, so no garantees. Ernst van der Vecht ObjectInputByLayerExample.vwx Quote Share this post Link to post
Patrick Fritsch 62 Posted October 25, 2018 Ah found it, now to translate and figure out how it woks! The forum link is here , I was searching for Nesting instead of Packing. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post
BillV 22 Posted October 26, 2018 Patrick If you do a lot of this the simpler way is to Export a DXF to a nesting programme like Enroute. Get in touch if you need more information. Enroute will read both 2D and 3D DXF and will post to CNC. Interiorcad to Enroute.mp4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Woodychips 4 Posted October 27, 2018 Hey yeah! I’m nesting my parts in Enroute. The parts need to get tool path figured out, so might as well do it all in post processor. Are you doing the CNC work, or is it being sub’d out? Quote Share this post Link to post
