You might recognize the bottom nest from the front cover.

The top nest was generated by the P.E.P. Automatic Nesting software resulting in:  

1.     More parts go down on the sheet with P.E.P. - four of the mushroom parts to be exact.

2.     The lead-in location will be assigned to the same geometry on identical parts within the column resulting in the parts being saved as sub-routine calls.  This significantly reduces the file size of the posted code and the amount of memory required to cut the nest.

3.     The organized columns and rows improve the chances of assigning the lead-in location so that the cutter path does not travel over previously cut parts when moving from one part to another, there-by eliminating head raises.

4.     Inspecting parts is less of an issue also because most of the parts will be cut using the same cutter path saved as a post processed sub-routine.

 

This nest was created by P.E.P.

 

Once again the Other Approach doesn’t come close.  Not only does this nest come up short by four parts, imagine the file size, head raises and crash problems one might encounter cutting this nest!
