Aspire - Nesting Software

[Smiler]

Been playing with the new version of Aspire tonight, loads in it for wood carvers and sign makers but I was interested in looking at the nesting software.

For anyone that doesn't know nesting is quite hard to do and it's only when you get serious software it become possible because of licensing the algorithms that allow this, all the good stuff is patented.

So full marks to Aspire for getting me 4 extra gear out of a cut sheet but that's 60 gears out of a full sheet extra.
Given the price of this stuff at just over £560 a sheet that's a big saving.

Hi John,

You have no idea how much I am coveting this software. If the Wife wasn't going to Canada to visit her aunt this year, I'd be in for it like a shot. I downloaded the V-Carve software last year and was impressed with how easy it was to use but don't want to download Aspire because I know it will make me sick

Thanks for the advise but it still means I have second ops to do, using the router with a 1/8" carbide single flute cutter means it saves me doing the ID and OD..
And I get to drink coffee whilst it's working :geek:

You used router bits too. I was expecting some kind of solid carbide..when I look at 1/8" router bits I always put them back in the box thinking that'll break in about 10 seconds!

Thanks

This is the seller I have used in the past

And that is the closest I can see on current listing from him / her but it's not the ones I usually buy
They are 3.2 mm but single flute and can cut 11 mm deep.
