It’s really great that your company is sharing this information! I love your Nesting software. It has saved me a great deal of money over the last 4 months we have used it. Thank you BobCAD!
That iinsght’s just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!
Mira,
Have you had problems trying to use bobnest for the first time?
For some reason when I nest some parts in millimeters, I get an alarm after the first part or if I design the nest in inches, our waterjet cuts them in millimeters.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Karl
