Press Release Summary: Nesting Technology Leader Optimation Helps Make-to-Order Air
Handling Firm

Press Release Body: As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting
technology guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next
available machine, providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor
reporting, and material inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially
and has the most advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its
own capital resources. Optimation (www.optimation.com) offers benchmarking against
any other method of part nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15%
in material efficiency alone.
Cleanpak International manufactures high-performance re-circulating air handlers,
ceiling systems, walls and access floors for cleanrooms for the semiconductor and
pharmaceutical industries. The company, which operates out of a 160,000 square foot
facility in a suburb of Portland, is dedicated to providing its customers "cutting
edge cleanroom equipment at a lower cost."

Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation noted that, "The primary
challenge to this goal is that Cleanpak is also a make-to-order manufacturer. Thus,
since each product is different, writing individual nesting programs was difficult,
time consuming and averaged only about 60% material efficiency. With Optimation's
software, the Cleanpak programmer can now nest more than 2,000 parts in a ten-hour
day with an average material efficiency of 80%."
For 30 years Optimation(r) has been the world leader in Part Nesting for Optimized
Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancement
leadership to industry, the company's new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previous
nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation(tm), allows the system
to "see" the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a person
looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on the part.
This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of the
nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessive
rotation.
