PackNest — Workshop
A browser-based tool for arranging bent sheet-metal parts into compact, stretch-wrapped bundles.
Field notes
PackNest accepts either a browser-drawn bent profile or an STL, retaining end bends and nonuniform profiles when exporting a closed solid. Its arrangement controls include part clearance, rotation rules, bundle size, and a search-detail setting, while the explorer exposes support relationships and unsupported parts. The separate wrap screen uses user-entered film force, friction, material, and shipping assumptions to screen flange and sliding behavior; the page explicitly describes these outputs as estimates rather than predictions of contact pressure or damage.
