Autodesk Inventor Nesting is a module within the Autodesk Inventor software that enables users to optimize the layout of parts on a sheet of material. The tool uses advanced algorithms to arrange parts in a way that minimizes waste, reduces material costs, and increases productivity. With Nesting, users can create efficient layouts for various manufacturing processes, such as cutting, punching, or laser cutting.
Autodesk has introduced a proprietary heuristic algorithm (codenamed "Lightning Bolt") that runs parallel calculations across multi-core CPUs and GPU resources simultaneously. autodesk inventor nesting 2025 exclusive
