Nested-Based Manufacturing:
Material Optimization through Machine and Programming Software Integration
Part 3. CNC Router Production vs. CNC Point-To-Point Production
Use the following as a guide to test your need for a CNC Router or CNC Point-To-Point machining center part production.
If your company:
1. uses 15 to 80 sheets of material per day and
2. your parts do not require extensive horizontal boring

Begin your justification with a CNC router set up to function as Nested-Based work cell.

If your company:
1. uses 15 to 80 sheets of material per day and
2. 20% or more of your work is solid wood, surfaces, shaped parts, etc.

Begin your justification with a CNC router set up to function as Nested-Based work cell.

If your company:
1. uses more than 80 sheets per day and
2. has an accurate panel-sizing solution such as a CNC beam saw and
3. has a requirement for extensive horizontal boring and
4. 85% or more of your parts require boring but do not require routing

Begin your justification with a CNC point-to-point boring machine and a CNC beam saw.
You should also consider two CNC routers set up to function as Nested-Based work cells.

Note: A second Nested-Based work cell is relatively inexpensive to implement because the computer system, software and learning curve is already taken care of and doesn't need to be duplicated.
