Nesting: reducing waste in naval engineering
In our naval engineering studio we use cutting-edge technologies to perform nesting with the utmost precision and efficiency. Thanks to our experience and our skills, we can provide customised solutions for each naval construction project, ensuring optimised use of materials and faster and cheaper production.
From the reduction of cutting time, to the minimisation of movements and the weighted use of metal sheets, nesting allows you to have a more accurate management of costs, but also of inventories.
Cutting-edge software for naval nesting
Ship Design Group uses the best assisted design software to create optimised layouts for cutting metal pieces, thus maximising material yield and minimising waste.
The use of nesting is particularly important in the naval industry, where material costs can represent a significant part of the total expense for the production of a ship. Indeed, thanks to nesting, it is possible to reduce material waste by up to 20–30%, with consequent savings.
But this is not the only advantage. In fact, state-of-the-art software, such as those used by Ship Design Group, makes it possible to produce more precise and uniform pieces of metal. They also help to reduce production time by optimising the arrangement of metal parts so that they can be cut and machined more quickly.
The software is equipped with more than 60 automated commands that simplify tasks while saving much time and increasing production efficiency.
