Main Benefits & Advantages of Gemini NestEXPERT over similar solutions
- Provides fabric saving up to 6% compared to manual nesting and 2% compared to competitor algorithms
- Unlike other CADs which are using third-party nesting algorithms, Gemini NestEXPERT is based on a proprietary algorithm
developed in-house by Gemini CAD Systems, ensuring a continuous evolution and adaptation to client’s requests - Nesting rules & restrictions, parts quantities, fabric properties can be retrieved automatically from upstream product development stages
- Multi-core parallel nesting, getting the most of your computer and reducing nesting time by up to x32
Innovative elements or unique points
- On screen fabric visualization, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) for nesting on fabrics with matching
- Cloud connected: Gemini NestEXPERT can retrieve fabric properties, cutter and plotter profiles, parts nesting and cutting manufacturing profiles from the online platform
- Cloud Optimization: NestEXPERT can boost nesting efficiency by using the cloud nesting farm
- Can be used as a tool for digital printing imposition, generating optimized textile printer files, in printable PDF format
Integration with complementary solutions
- In mass apparel production, Gemini NestEXPERT is typically used together with Gemini CutPLANNER, providing real time nesting for entire orders consisting in multiple markers and multiple fabrics
- For small scale applications or in technical textile applications it is typically used directly with design software (Gemini PatternDESIGNER or other CAD source)
- Can be used together with Gemini NestEXPERT SERVER to serve larger operations and manage nesting queues and over-night jobs
- Provides logical data for down-stream CAM applications such as VisionCUT (for matching cutting) or CutCOLLECT (pick-by-light drop-by-light)

FAQs
Find answers for common questions about NestEXPERT and Gemini experience
Gemini NestEXPERT is a software application used for automatic marker optimization in garments industry. Although this application offers specific solutions for nesting on textile fabrics, NestEXPERT can be used successfully for cutting also a wide range of materials such as plastic, metal, wood. We offer trainings and premium support for the guaranteed period in which whenever there are questions of functionality we help the user.
If you have installed NestEXPERT on multiple workstations, we advise you to update and install the latest version of the software on all workstations. This is the only way we can guarantee full compatibility between applications and the lack of downtime in the product development process. The dongle is a hardware device (current electronic device) that gives the user the right to use the software (applications) in full license mode, based on paid licenses, and therefore we recommend that the dongle be used on a the only workstation.
When Gemini NestEXPERT performs the automatic nesting, the rules and restrictions of each pattern are respected. These rules are defined for each pattern since the design phase, and refer to the rotation freedom and position on the grain axis, at the minimum distance between patterns, at matching the project on the stripes and plaids, to the alignment and matching with other patterns.
In NestEXPERT application can be realized markers on simple layer fabric, on strips and plaids fabric, on double layer fabric or tubular fabric. The result obtained in Gemini NestEXPERT application is an optimized marker, which can be printed on plotters at scale 1: 1, can be sent to in a particular form to an automatically cutting machine or can be printed on a printer as a mini-marker for user checking.
The installation kits for all of our latest versions can be found in the Installation Kits in my MyCAD account.
