Generate the Blank Outline

BSE is a complete solution for accurately estimating blank size along with blank nesting for
maximum material utilization, minimum scrap and piece costsall within the familiar NX
environment. The solution can quickly produce a blank outline for blank size estimation along
with piece price and scrap calculation. Designed for cost estimators, blank predictions consider
both linear bends and the material stretch that occurs during the forming process to produce the
most accurate blank possible. The solution also provides for 1-up, 2-up and multiple blank
nesting. BSE-in-NX can also automatically generate reports, which include detailed descriptions
of overall blank size, nesting conguration, pitch, coil width, material utilization, number of coils
required to meet annual volume and total piece price for materials.
