Designed for OEM partners building automated print and production workflows, Callas has announced new nesting module designed to enable software developers and workflow vendors to calculate optimised nesting layouts for multiple PDF files on a given sheet size, improving material efficiency and production throughput. Nesting plays an essential role in many industrial printing environments, including packaging, wide format printing, textile production, and signage. The callas nesting module is designed to integrate easily into automated workflows and production platforms. For customers producing large numbers of print items on different substrates, efficient nesting can make a significant difference in production costs.
The new pdfNest module was designed to easily integrate into the systems the callas OEM partners build. It is the perfect complement to pdfToolbox. Where pdfToolbox is focused on enabling automation and efficiency gains for automated file intake and correction, pdfNest focuses on increasing output sheet efficiency. The nesting module is designed for integration into automated production environments. It accepts XML and/or SVG for the description of the items to be nested, and delivers the same on output with the definition of the imposed sheets. An easy-to-use API makes for quick and easy integration.
