Overview

3D Nesting for Additive Manufacturing

Oroox provides advanced 3D nesting for additive manufacturing, enabling automated arrangement of parts inside a 3D build volume. The software optimizes build volume utilization, material efficiency, and production throughput while respecting additive manufacturing constraints, machine parameters, and printing requirements.

3D Nesting for Additive Manufacturing

The Challenge of Manual 3D Nesting

Manual 3D nesting leads to unused build volume, increased production time, higher material consumption, low machine utilization, and complex workflows. Automated 3D nesting eliminates these inefficiencies and enables accurate price calculation from real build data.
