Remain material nesting、Text nesting
With Interactive nesting or Auto nesting function, remain material can be used for next nesting. After convert text to curve, the text also can be Interactive nesting or Auto nesting





6.Remain Material Management
Whether using remaining material is reasonable is related to the utilization rate of material. Using remaining material unreasonably can cause waste of material. Remain material management provide us an easy way to recycle material and ensure the continuity of the work.
Remain boundary
Remain boundary can be shown during Auto nesting and Interactive Nesting, and the range of it will be changed when you move cursor. Remain boundary separates parts and remain material, so that tedious manual cutting is replaced. Remain boundary is good for remain material management and remain material re-use.
Remain Figure
Remain figure can be added into remain library so that remain figure can be found easily when you want to use it. Work efficiency and material utilization rate are improved.
Remain library
After editing serial number, you can add remain figure into remain library. UcanNest2009 provides Note function so that you also can record the related information for remain figure, such as material, area, thickness.
Preview figure: Open the file folder of remain library and click file, you can preview this file in preview window so that the file you need can be found quickly.
Remain Nesting
Remain material can be used for next nesting so that work efficiency and material utilization rate are improved.

7.Node
This is one of the particular function in UcanNest2009.It provides the solution for cutting bevels and solution for entry and exit. With node editing function, chamfer, fillet can be generated accurately and extracted contour can be edited quickly.
Solution for Cutting bevels
Solution for Entry and Exit
The parameters of the length of entry and exit line and rounded angle radius can be set accurately. Multi-node can be edited once.
Node Editing
With node editing function, you can edit extracted counter of figure accurately and arbitrarily, You also can change the shape of entry and exit line and select random node as start point for machining.
8.Negative Bridge
Setting position and width of Negative Bridge arbitrarily.
Reduce the piercing of the holes in oxy flame cutting and consumed electrical in plasma cutting for effective improvement of productivity and expenses on consumable parts.
9.Bridges
Bridge is to minimize the wear and tear on consumable items in cutting process. The number of pierce hole can be reduced by using bridge or negative bridge. The minimum bridge width should be larger than kerf value. The length of entry and exit line should be set respectively.
10.Entry and Exit
UcanNest2009 provide many types of entry and exit. Entry position and exit position can be selected arbitrarily
Type of Entry and Exit
It can be straight line, Arc or others. Parameter of the length of line, angle of line (0—90) and radius of arc can be set accurately.
11.Snap Function
Snap function is very helpful when we draw figure. It improved the efficiency of drawing. This function also can be used for accurately finding entry and exit position. The type of position will be shown when cursor moved on it.
12.Continuous Cutting
Enter the shortest distance between exit of last part and entry of next part, distance of short cut value to facilitate the possibility of continuous cutting. It can reduce the number of pierce holes in oxy flame cutting and save nozzle for effective improvement of productivity and expenses on consumable parts.
13.Intelligent Function
When generate toolpath for a figure with both internal outline and external outline. UcanNest2009 will calculate tool path for internal outline and external outline respectively and add entry line for them, internal outline is in inner so that you need not define internal outline and external outline in person.

14.Toolpath Edit
This function includes next path and automatic output. When doing manual setting for cutting path, it is necessary to pay attention on cut sequence, direction of travels and angle of entry/exit for both the internal and external contours. The advantage of next path is that you can add entry and exit line arbitrarily and you can manual control the direction and cutting sequence. You also can select relevant cutting path for different parts. Automatic output is a high efficiency method for toolpath editing, and the interface of it is easy to understand.
Next Toolpath
The parameters of it includes Offset compensation (left, right, none)and Processing speed. When doing manual setting for cutting path, you can cancel the action and re-select direction of travel, you also can change the direction of travel by change the direction of arrow and broken line. So that under the instruction of next toolpath, it is easier to generate the toolpath for common cutting.
Automatic output
The parameters in this function include Cut direction, Offset, Entry and Exit, etc. Offset includes On, Outside, Inside.

15.Toolpath Edit
We can edit generated toolpath. Such as ToolPath Sequence, ToolPath Panel, Group Toolpath, Ungroup Toolpath.
ToolPath Sequence
Tool path sequence can be adjusted so as to improve machining process and machining quality. The sequence number of toolpath is shown at the beginning of start point for processing so that the sequence number is easy to change.
Tool Path Panel
Tool path panel is used to separate a tool path into several smaller portions so that you can machine materials accurately even when the work area of your machine is not big enough. After machining, you can combine the portions together to form a complete one. In this way, not only machining time is reduced, but also efficiency is improved.
Group Toolpath and Ungroup Toolpath.
You can group several toolpaths as one unit for machining. You also can output several toolpaths respectively.

16.Tool Path Walk Simulation
Machining path can be previewed though tool path walk simulation, thus avoiding machining error and reducing fault. Simulation speed can be changed.

17.Toolpath Output
Machine processing (cutting, pre-pierce, marker) cutting speed, Fast speed, origin point, base on feature point.
Cutting---common machine processing.
Pre-pierce---we can utilize the used nozzles to finish the holes first and then continue cutting with the good nozzle, so that nozzle can be saved.
Marker---draw the outline of figure. It is an inspection before processing.

18.Post Set
Software generates G code and M direction. According to need, you can add different types of device. Set parameters for Open fire ,Close fire.
Files of type can be *.nc、*.txt or others.
You can check or un-check generated speed command.
