    job setup - multiple parts

    i have a number of parts i would like to cut in one job.

    is there any techniques or software that will assist me in creating a job that includes muliple diferrent parts.

    i have the toolpaths generated for all the parts and would like to group them together.

    i thought i heard of a program that you could give it the size of you work piece, dop all your parts in tell it the minimal distance between them and it would auto arrange the parts the most effiecent way.

    was i dreaming this?

    thanks

    I do not know if there are any stand alone nesting programs available. Many of the CAD/CAM programs include a feature to nest multiple parts together. If you would like to outsource this task, post an RFQ.
