Part fitting as good as possible

Anonymous — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 19:07:28 GMT

Hello,

Im working in a company where we cut a gasket sheets to a different size and shape gaskets. (For example, 10 circles OD 220mm ID 150mm, 5 squares with bolt holes, dimensions 300 mm x 300mm, 5 circles OD 820mm x 700mm).

Is there some tool around which would automatically fit different size and shape gaskets in to that sheet size (1500 mm x 1500 mm), to be as efficient as possible (to minimize leftovers/trash).

Let me know

Thanks,

Which exact Autodesk software are you using?

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

There is nothing native in AutoCAD that does this. I did find this plugin on the Autodesk App Store that might be worth investigating.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'm glad that I could help out. Let me know how the utility performs. Perhaps make a Screencast if you have time. I would like to know how well it works for this process.
