Nesting parameter to set a value for positioning waste areas
- Enter a value for the critical waste margin.
This is the distance from the edge of the board. The margins apply to the edges opposite the nesting origin. Where a part is placed so that it straddles the critical waste margin it is moved to the board margin.
The use of the margin helps to avoid small areas of waste at the edge of the board.
Notes
- Applies to Rectangular nesting and Shaped nesting II optimisers
- Large parts almost as long/wide as the board which are positioned adjacent to the nesting origin margins are not moved nor are parts defined as 'small'.
