The 2025 release continues to focus on streamlining the transition from a 3D model to a production-ready nest.

Generate multiple sheet nests automatically to reduce raw material waste from flat cutting operations.

Specify allowable part orientations to ensure consistent grain direction for both aesthetic requirements and structural integrity (e.g., crack prevention).

Create and compare multiple nesting studies to evaluate different material options, packaging, and orientations to maximize job profitability.

Autodesk Inventor Nesting 2025 is an integrated true-shape nesting software designed to help manufacturers reduce material waste and optimize the use of flat raw materials. By operating directly within the familiar Inventor interface, it bridges the gap between 3D design and physical fabrication, ensuring that material yield is maximized before a single cut is made.
