From basic nesting to Industry 4.0 efforts, SteinerZ sets the bar high. Titus Steiner, owner of SteinerZ, a Russellville, MO-based custom fabrication shop, is a quick study when it comes to nesting software. From the 2010 launch of his firm (spelled as an alternative to Steiners) in a 2800-sq.-ft. shop, to its present-day 14,000-sq.-ft. facility, SteinerZ's use of ProNest CAD/CAM nesting software by Hanover, NH-based Hypertherm, has grown along with its output. SteinerZ started cutting parts with a single machine, a Trumpf 2600-W laser, which it sold in 2016. Today, using a Durma 6-kW fiber laser, an ACL Group 175-ton, 10-ft. CNC press brake and an Accurl 13-ft. by 1/4-in. CNC sheer, its work ranges from one-offs to 10,000-part orders for such applications as automotive, agricultural, thermal oxidizers, generators and commercial trailers.
