“ Our CAD / CAM solutions are designed to meet every need from the nesting software component to the complete software solution ( Almacam ). Here at EuroBLECH , we are promoting the fact that we are ready with Saas ( software as a solution ) and Cloud solutions as well as a new software subscription model . For Cloud and SaaS solutions , we provide two major products : Nest & Cut and Webquote solution ( an option in Almaquote ). Almacam Pass is the subscription model for our Almacam software ( for 2D cutting and punching ),” Christelle Savorgnani , Sales & Marketing Manager , CAM Software , Alma , told ISMR at EuroBLECH in Hanover .
Nest & Cut is an automated web application that nests parts and generates the NC code for machines . It enables continuous cutting throughout the cycle . According to Alma , no installation or training is needed and the application is always fully up to date . With Nest & Cut , any company involved in cutting flat materials can access nesting algorithms to reduce raw material costs without investing in a costly “ heavy client ” solution . Nest & Cut exploits all the power of the Cloud to optimise not only nesting computation times but also the time required to process and automatically

clean the DXF geometries transferred by the user . Today , it has several hundred users worldwide and now the application makes it possible to generate ISO programs for simple NC cutting machines .
“ We are also placing a particular focus on the new version of our Almacam Tube ( now fully integrated into our Almacam suite ) and the new version ( with new user interface ) of Almacam Quote . This system provides rapid and accurate quotations . Target customers for this are subcontractors or manufacturers who wish to send quotations to customers and users . Our Webquote solution is a web application option in Almaquote which manages the quotation request between the ordering parties and the subcontractors . It handles all this on the same web platform ; there is no need for complex email requests between the two parties ,” added Savorgnani .
Almacam ’ s latest innovations also included a new palletising module for the evacuation of
