The aerospace composite industry demands the highest quality and accuracy to meet the required safety standards for finished components, while operating in a fiercely competitive environment.

A reliable, highly efficient and automated nesting system is essential to minimize errors, maximise material utilization, increase existing machine production capacity and keep programming time and operator interaction to a minimum. JETCAM Expert delivers this on all counts, with an award-winning system specifically tailored for efficient composite materials cutting and routing.

With a high volume of routing and composite parts that require programming and nesting, the ability to automatically batch process components and individual ply geometry files directly from the CAD system, followed by efficient nesting of all material orders, is crucial for aerospace companies. Such full automation can now be achieved using JETCAM's Remote Control Processing (RCP) functionality. This allows for the instructions to the system to be provided automatically instead of from operator keyboard/mouse entries. One of the options for this, for composites, router and other parts, is through the use of Pre Programmed Input (PPI).

When in automatic mode, the system will extract the required manufacturing information from the PPI data supplied by the CAD system with each CAD file, process the part and store it in the component database ready for nesting at some future date. JETCAM's Order and Material Management software can be used to remotely manage component processing and nesting of orders
