What is SigmaNest?
Using SIGMA directly with SOLIDWORKS allows you to generate all the manufacturing information needed to produce components for a wide range of sheet metal applications.
With optimised nesting algorithms in SigmaNEST, you can reduce remnants and material waste. With SigmaTUBE, you can quickly nest parts and add toolpaths for tube cutting, and with SigmaDSTV, you can easily create NC1 files directly from metal profiles.
Nesting Perfected
Reduce material usage with higher nest yield, most customers save over 4% on material after switching to SigmaNEST.
Versatile CAD Import
An intelligent, time-saving CAD import identifies 2D parts or 3D assemblies and automatically computes part costs and cutting time.
Accelerate Business Operation
Simplify operations with instant quoting, automated work orders and BOMs, job tracking, scheduling, and fully integrated production data.
SigmaNEST Advanced Motion
SigmaNEST is a single programming solution for both simple and complex machines, including punch, profile, and combination systems.

What is SigmaTUBE?
SigmaTUBE simplifies tube cutting with one-button toolpath generation and intelligent 4-axis movement modification, making programming fast and efficient.
Its built-in nesting functionality automatically fits components with the same profile into available stock lengths to maximise machine throughput and minimise waste, while cut quality can be controlled either automatically or manually. With a single click, you can create weld preparation cuts for pipe joints and easily generate seamless toolpaths with compensation for non-bevel machines.
Flexible Part Creation
SigmaTUBE imports all major CAD files and uses parametric shapes with advanced feature recognition to quickly create flexible tube and pipe designs.
Simple and Powerful Toolpathing
Automatic quality control, weld preparation, non-bevel compensation and common-line nesting work together to create accurate toolpaths while reducing cutting time and material waste.
Fully 3D Environment
A 3D view with powerful editing tools allows users to visualise machine movement, resolve collisions, and flexibly programme parts, assemblies, and individual toolpaths.
Easy Data Management
Customisable reports provide detailed cutting information with part and layout visuals, while inventory control accurately tracks stock and remnants for all supported tube shapes.
Integrated for Efficient Workflow
What is SigmaDSTV?
SigmaDSTV allows users to take metal profiles from SOLIDWORKS or other CAD systems and immediately change them into NC files for machining in the DSTV format.
