Vocabulary — Nest stage
Wirejoint = MetaCam's term for the sacrificial micro-joint — a short span left uncut so material stays joined until it is deliberately broken. In our vocabulary that is the tab (part held into the sheet, item 3a) and the slug-retention tab (waste side, item 3b). It is never a bridge, which is permanent.
src — Jordan, 2026-08-28 ('1. Yes.'), confirming the term from the Add Toolpath walkthrough step 1: MetaCam's Auto-tool settings dialog carries a 'Suppress wirejoints' checkbox, CHECKED in the shop's standard run — MetaCam's automatic joints are off in their flow. How tabs then get placed (manually per feature?) is expected later in the walkthrough — not yet asked.
