In the modern processing industry of metal and composite materials, waterjet cutting has become a mainstream precision processing technology due to its advantages of no thermal deformation and compatibility with all materials. A programming and nesting software adapted to waterjet working conditions directly determines plate utilization and production efficiency. As a global professional waterjet solution supplier, Win-Win Waterjet has reached in-depth strategic cooperation with IGEMS. IGEMS is a professional 2D/3D CAD/CAM software tailor-made for waterjet cutting. Jointly empowered by WinWin hardware equipment and IGEMS digital software, the two brands deeply cater to water cutting process requirements, and provide one-stop core digital + mechanical support for global processing plants to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

One of the most outstanding core strengths of IGEMS is its powerful automatic shape nesting function, which effectively boosts material utilization. Combined with high-precision waterjet cutting equipment, wear-resistant cutting consumables and after-sales technical support provided by WinWin Waterjet, IGEMS software can automatically and efficiently arrange different parts on plates to greatly reduce leftover waste. It can nest multiple components and automatically place smaller parts inside hollow areas of larger parts. Manual nesting relies heavily on operators’ experience, often leading to over 10% material loss from unreasonable gaps and unused hollow spaces. With intelligent algorithms, IGEMS maximizes plate space by interleaving big and small parts. Matched with WinWin stable ultra-high-pressure cutting performance, it enables more finished workpieces per sheet and delivers remarkable raw material savings for mass production processing enterprises.

Many factories keep leftover plate scraps after cutting, yet manual measuring, drawing and re-nesting take tremendous time. Relying on the WinWin & IGEMS integrated intelligent processing system, factories can realize full scrap recycling efficiently. Featuring professional visual scanning tools, IGEMS uses industrial cameras to scan leftover plate sections, and the system generates drawings of residual materials with precision up to ±0.5mm. It then optimally arranges cutting patterns on the scrap drawings for direct cutting, eliminating manual measuring, drafting and tool coordinate adjustment. This integrated scanning and nesting system jointly optimized by WinWin and IGEMS cuts preparation time for scrap reprocessing by over 70%, turning worthless scraps into qualified finished products, and maximizing customers’ overall production benefits.

Beyond its two flagship nesting functions, IGEMS, as a waterjet-exclusive system, is fully compatible with the operation logic of ultra-high-pressure waterjet equipment. Thanks to long-term technical docking and joint debugging, IGEMS achieves full adaptive compatibility with all series of WinWin waterjet machines, including small bench waterjets and large gantry ultra-high-pressure cutting units. Meanwhile, the software supports most mainstream waterjet machine brands worldwide, accurately outputting cutting path programs matching customized cutting parameters. It also houses a dedicated parameter library for waterjet processes, including cutting compensation, piercing slowdown and corner deceleration. Supported by unified operation training provided by WinWin professional technical team, even novice operators can produce high-precision parts steadily with preset parameters, significantly lowering factory technical barriers and labor training costs.

Covering the entire water cutting workflow from drawing import, part splitting, intelligent plate nesting, scrap scanning and reuse to cutting program export, IGEMS acts as an all-in-one digital hub. Different from universal CAD software loaded with irrelevant modules, every feature of IGEMS is refined exclusively for waterjet cutting. Backed by Win-Win full-chain hardware supply, consumables matching and global localized after-sales service, the WinWin + IGEMS combined solution has become an indispensable core tool for digital transformation and efficient production upgrading for global precision waterjet processing factories.
