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.
