Nesting parts
Hi guys. I'm very new to the world of CNC (and CAD), but I've jumped in head first. Using Fusion 360 for modeling, Stepcraft 840 w/Kress 800, and UCCNC. I've been able to get everything working and have cut a few pieces, which are dimensionally accurate- very satisfying!
What I'm having difficulty with is figuring out how to nest multiple parts on the same sheet. Is this something I need to do in 360? It is it done in UCCNC? Now that I know my models and toolpaths/g-code are correct, I'd like to setup to cut 15 of the same part without having to do each one manually.
Thanks in advance!
Hi J5D,
Nesting is possible and best done in Fusion before generating the g-code with the post-processor.
There is also another program that can do this nesting action automatically for you try checking out Vectric Aspire or V-Carve at:

good luck
