Protected Zones in OmniWin

04/21/2026

Excluding Plate Areas from Nesting

Not every area on a plate is suitable for nesting. With Protected Zones in OmniWin, you can define areas where no parts should be placed – ideal for damaged spots, markings, or machine-specific zones.

How it works: Protected Zones can be defined directly on the plate or in the nesting plan. The automatic nesting function respects these areas and optimally uses only the available surfaces.

The advantage: Less scrap due to defective areas, better planning capability, and maximum flexibility in production.
