• Performance enhancement when generating NC code after nesting, along with other performance gains when working with complex/dense nests
• New options for JETCAM Expert 1, including Free Form Automatic Nesting (Read Only) and 2D Routing support

“V24 is all about performance. Not only have we optimised and refactored code in ‘high usage’ areas of the software, such as NC code generation, but the 64-bit Preview Release demonstrates a drastic increase in nesting efficiency for our High and Ultra Performance time-based nesting algorithms, delivering much more efficient nests over the same time as a 32-bit system,” says Martin Bailey, managing director of JETCAM International. “In addition to core performance changes that will benefit all users, there are new features that will aid specific groups of customers using, punch, laser, routing and knife cutting technologies.”

JETCAM Expert v24 is available immediately for free for customers with current maintenance contracts.
