Reduce waste and increase productivity with Nesting technology
When multiple components are required from single or multiple panels nesting software can be used to optimise the position of components within the available material, minimising space between parts and reducing waste. When producing fitted furniture grain direction can also be accounted for. The nesting process can be manually carried out or, as is most effective, carried out automatically by the software algorithm.

CNC Router Machines Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does CNC stand for?
-
The acronym “CNC” stands for Computer Numerical Control.
-
-
Are CNC machines easy to use?
-
The days of writing code out line by line are long gone. Today’s modern CNC machines incorporate intuitive CAD/ CAM design software packages to make designing and machining as easy as possible. A basic understanding of design software can be useful, but not essential.
-
-
What is the most common type of CNC machine?
-
A CNC router is the most common type of CNC machine. They come in many different sizes and configurations from hobbyist desktop machines to high production industrial machining centres.
-
-
Do I need a vacuum table?
-
Work holding is an essential element of successful CNC machining. A vacuum table is ideal for holding flat sheet material allowing components to be cut completely out, while keeping the workpiece secure.

-
What's the difference between stepper and servo drives?
-
Stepper motors and servo drives are both used for motion control but differ significantly. Stepper motors operate in an open-loop system, relying on fixed steps for positioning without feedback, making them cost-effective and simpler, but less precise under load or at high speeds. They provide good torque at low speeds but lose torque as speed increases. Servo drives, on the other hand, use a closed-loop system with feedback mechanisms, allowing real-time adjustments for higher accuracy, consistent torque across speeds, and faster response.

What is the difference between a 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC router?
-
A 3-axis CNC router operates using three axes: X (left to right), Y (front to back), and Z (up and down), allowing for basic cutting and engraving operations on flat surfaces. It is ideal for simple parts and 2D/2.5D projects. A 4-axis CNC router adds an additional rotational axis, typically called the A-axis, which allows the workpiece to be rotated during machining. This capability makes 4-axis routers useful for more complex parts with cylindrical shapes, such as furniture legs or sculptures. A 5-axis CNC router goes a step further by adding a second rotational axis, either by tilting the cutting head or the table, providing full freedom of movement. This allows for intricate 3D machining from multiple angles without repositioning the material, which is crucial for complex shapes like aerospace components and detailed 3D carvings, ensuring high precision and efficiency for complex geometries.

What is nesting in CNC routing, and why is it important?
-
Nesting in CNC routing refers to the process of arranging multiple parts to be cut from a single sheet of material in an optimized layout to minimize waste and maximize material usage. By using specialized software, nesting helps determine the most efficient arrangement of parts, ensuring that as much of the material as possible is utilized effectively. This process is crucial for reducing production costs, as it directly minimizes material waste and allows manufacturers to get more parts out of each sheet. Nesting also plays a role in improving production speed and reducing tool paths, leading to quicker cutting times. This efficiency is especially important in industries like cabinetry, furniture production, and signage, where reducing waste and increasing yield can significantly impact overall profitability and environmental sustainability.
