The Radan computer-aided-manufacturing program by Vero Software includes a total of 180 improvements, including nesting upgrades that increase productivity while maximizing materials and maintaining ease of use. Radan now creates more compact nests than ever before by spreading parts more evenly throughout the sheet and by better utilizing the middle of the sheet to fully utilize materials.

Additional nesting upgrades include the automatic application of rectangular nesting when appropriate for nearly rectangular parts, a time-saving enhancement that helps in maximizing the sheet. Radan 2015 also offers improved 3-D translation procedures that ensure information is imported more consistently. Radan’s ability to automatically calculate the thicknesses of imported parts has also been redesigned to yield faster and more accurate results.
