October 27, 2009 Member Meeting – Chapter 21 October meeting to be hosted by SigmaTEK Systems, LLC

The October meeting of SME Chapter 21 will be hosted by SigmaTEK Systems, LLC on Tuesday, October 27, 2009. The meeting will involved a technical demonstration with preliminary training for: Sigmanest nesting software. This software is used to position 2-dimensional CAD files of multiple part numbers onto a 2D representation of a raw stock sheets so that the parts are positioned for cutting. It will automatically take maximum advantage of the part shapes to waste the least amount of material. It will also automatically generate a CNC program that can be downloaded to a laser, plasma, or water jet cutting machine to make the parts. The software also permits handling inventory of raw sheets and “drops” (leftover remnants) so that the optimum sheet sizes can be pulled from inventory for each new job.



SigmaTEK is located at 1445 Kemper Meadow Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45240
