Their stored DXF stays tilted, as the part card points out: recompute the blank to get a straight DXF.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing changes for a blank that already came out straight.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nesting can start from commercial sheet sizes, bar nesting offers one standard bar per profile, and tilted parts now unfold straight.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mises-a-jour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cut-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
