Create user groups by role or access level for greater security and fewer chances of mistakes.

Multiple people can connect simultaneously to applications from different client computers.

Customize your dashboard, tree, and ribbon menus to quickly access favorite functions and frequently used tools.

Inspect part data after translation. Use the same viewport to review, inspect, and measure nested results.

Work with data filtered by a specific facility, machine, or both.

Automatic data syncing and updates better support concurrent access of applications by multiple users.

Server monitoring and data synching are now in real time, between the master and client databases.

Better data syncs between server and clients mean that people using enterprise solutions will now experience significantly improved response times.

TruNest uses the SmarTran universal translator, which ensures that all part geometries are suitable for nesting.

TruNest translates CAD formats and converts NC (numerical control) code from legacy programs into usable CAD data.

Manually select parts for translation or pull them automatically from a PDM system such as Vault software.

Add parts or assemblies to an active order until nesting time, and increase nesting efficiency

Integrates with ERP and MRP systems to automatically schedule new orders and nest them, based on workload.

TruNest supports QR code scanning, and lets you generate barcodes for tracking purposes.
