Tangent closes the gap between CAD drawings and the plotted output making just-in-time and one-off cutting faster, easier and more profitable.
Developed expressly for working for the special requirements of technical textiles, Tangent is simple enough for anyone to use but has features enough for the expert user on critical work.
Features and Benefits of Tangent
Aeronaut’s Tangent software is the easiest to use, most flexible and powerful cutter control you can buy. It’s got all the tools you need for importing and nesting patterns as well as revolutionary machine vision systems to trace, digitise, autonest and pattern match.

Can our technology help your business?
Aeronaut’s software is practical and industry focussed. We don’t do CAD software because you can buy good CAD software almost anywhere. What we do is the essential tools to link up your products with our cutting systems to make sure you get the best use from your investment.

Autonest+
Tangent’s basic nesting is better than most but for real fabric and time savings, nothing beats Autonest+. 10 times faster than other software we have used, it can return a valid nest in under 10 seconds on queues with hundreds of patterns. Unlike many nesting programs, Autonest+ does not change the data structure of patterns so the integrity of splines and curves is preserved.
With the Aeronaut cutter performing three times faster than hand cutting, the company had to put on two extra full-time machinists, as well as one casual, to keep up.
