Vero Software's 2018 R1 Alphacam includes enhancements to automation and nesting functions. Automation Manager is capable of forming a connection between ‘parent-child’ parts as job files can be added to another job file as a sub-component allowing users to preview them without having to process the job. Drawings and fittings can be added to specified datum points and the new tolerance collision check allows the manager to avoid machine table collisions with the ability to check Z levels on toolpaths. Along with 13 additional nesting-extension options, a new feature allows the nesting engine to automatically use the best available user-selected sheets.
