Optimal nesting is provided along with a time constraint. In the Nesting tab, the combo box field labeled 'Max Nesting Time' is used to indicate the time to be taken for Optimal Nesting.

Time constraint is applicable only for Optimal Nesting and not for Fast Nesting. The 'Max Nesting Time' combo box is deactivated (grayed out) if Fast Nesting is chosen.

Default value for 'Max Nesting Time' Constraint:

The default value for Maximum Nesting Time constraint is 'No constraint'.

Note that for numerous complex parts of varying thicknesses, materials and or quantities, the time taken could run into minutes/ hours if a time constraint is not applied to Optimal Nesting.

To limit the time taken by Optimal Nesting, you can enter the time (in minutes) in the Max Nesting Time combo box.
