Users select the files needed for production. The software extracts the flat geometry from Solid Edge parts ( .par ), sheet metal files ( .psm ), or generic formats like DXF and DWG. Users then assign a production quantity to each part. 2. Setting Up Sheet Inventory
Solid Edge 2D Nesting 2025 inherits the modernized UI framework introduced in recent Solid Edge releases.

The user inputs the dimensions of the available raw sheets or selects an existing remnant from the inventory.
Users select standard sheet sizes from an inventory library or define custom remnant geometries. Step 4: Execute Nesting and Analyze Results

If a design changes in the CAD environment, the nesting project can be updated rapidly to reflect the new geometry, preventing outdated revisions from reaching the shop floor. Multi-Sheet and Remnant Management Manual nesting is a tedious, time-consuming process
The software uses a powerful nesting algorithm to rotate, mirror, and interlock complex shapes. This ensures that the distance between parts is minimized, maximizing sheet utilization and drastically reducing scrap material. Key Features of the 2025 Version
Investing in the latest version of Solid Edge 2D Nesting provides tangible returns on investment (ROI) across several operational areas. Material Cost Savings
The software pulls from standard stock sizes first.
: Automatically extracts flat pattern data from Solid Edge files (.PSM, .PAR) and supports industry-standard formats like DXF and DWG. Users select the files needed for production
: Operators can initialize the module directly from Solid Edge Mechanical Design with a single click.
Sort parts by thickness and material automatically.
The workflow inside Solid Edge 2D Nesting 2025 is designed to be intuitive, moving from design to optimization in a few guided steps:
[Import Parts] ➔ [Define Materials & Sheets] ➔ [Configure Rules] ➔ [Execute Nest] ➔ [Export DXF/Reports] 1. Importing the Parts
