Tampa Bay Steel Deploys SigmaNEST

By DE Editors

Tampa Bay Steel has deployed SigmaTEK Systems’  SigmaNEST CAD/CAM nesting software to improve efficiency and speed of material optimization, part cutting and cost estimation.

Tampa Bay Steel service center processes and distributes metal products to customers in the agriculture, construction, trailer, and energy industries. The company’s in-house modeling software is SolidWorks. According to the company, SigmaNEST allows it to be more agile and responsive, and the cost estimation capability allows for more accurate and winning quotes. 

We began implementing SigmaNEST just several months ago and are seeing significant and rapid gains in productivity and savings, said David Carpenter, engineering manager at Tampa Bay Steel. Because we utilize a variety of high-end fabrication equipment including multiple laser,  plasma, and water jet systems, it is imperative that we find a single-source solutions provider to ensure that our fabrication process is operating in the most effective way possible. Increased machine productivity and reduced material scrap is a great benefit and with SigmaNEST we achieve both in a single program.
