Things To Know

Tutorial

Transferring

• After applying all of the changes to our bent part, we are free to select the desired option for transferring the part out.

• You may Transfer to Design for adding further geometry to the part and assigning actions before sending it to the machine, or you may Transfer to Nesting if you'd like the current part to be added to a nesting project without altering the part further.
