Nests page in Production Manager

You can quickly scan this list to see current nest status and the amount of free space for each nest.

Status

The tags on the left show nest status.

Free space

This allows you to easily identify nests that still have available space and locate the corresponding job so that additional parts can be added, if needed.

The Free space percentage is a rough estimate of the amount of usable space on a nest. ProNest subtracts the area of all nested parts and the separation around them from the total plate area to get this number. The higher the number, the more available space on the nest.

Cutouts inside parts count as free space. Remnants created by crop cuts also count as free space.
