"Utilizing NESTERwood’s Rolling Nest feature, a process that allows a new frame layout to start at any point within a sheet where the previous frame finished, an order that originally consumed 25 sheets of plywood was done using only 19 sheets. On average, we expect to achieve a material savings of 20% with this software."
