How it works

From part file to production layout in four steps

01
Upload DXF/SVG parts
Drag and drop part files. Contours are extracted and validated. Set quantity per part.
02
Set material and sheet size
Define sheet dimensions, material thickness, and available quantity. Choose from presets or enter custom values.
03
Configure cutting parameters
Set part spacing, edge margin, rotation constraints, and grain direction. Technology type is stored for reference. Kerf polygon offset is planned.
04
Export production files
Download optimized SVG sheet layouts, PDF production reports with part index, and a ZIP bundle of all sheets.
Use cases

Supported technologies

Configured for each cutting process

Part spacing and edge margin are set per technology. Kerf compensation is planned for a future engine update. Parameters are not shared between processes.

CNC Routing
Grain direction lock, part spacing, edge margin. Kerf polygon offset is planned for a future engine update.
Spacing: from tool ⌀ · 0°/90° rotation
Laser Cutting
Small part spacing for tight packing. Common-line cutting and micro-joint support are planned for future engine modes.
Tight spacing · 0°/90° rotation
Plasma Cutting
Wider part spacing for thick plate. HAZ compensation and kerf polygon offset are planned for future engine modes.
Wide spacing · 0°/90° rotation
Waterjet
Wide part spacing for thick stock. Taper and kerf compensation are planned for future engine modes.
Wide spacing · 0°/90° rotation
Prototyping
Mixed materials, varied sheet sizes, fast iteration without production constraints.
Flexible spacing · 0°/90° rotation
Knife Cutting
Oscillating and drag knife for foam, cardboard, vinyl, leather, and textile. No heat.
Tight spacing · Soft material optimized
Platform features

Every parameter that affects cut quality

Nesting Center exposes the precise controls that production teams need — without overwhelming casual users.

DXF/SVG
Native file import
Parses DXF and SVG files. Imports closed contours, holes, slots, and internal cutouts. Geometry is stored and rendered accurately.
Spacing
Part-to-part distance
Set part spacing and edge margin. Current engine uses rectangular bounding-box placement with configurable gap. Kerf-aware polygon offsets are planned.
Rotation
Rotation constraints
Allow 90° rotation steps or lock orientation — per part or globally. Grain direction lock prevents cross-grain placement.
Grain
Grain direction lock
Lock part orientation to sheet grain for wood, laminate, and anisotropic materials. Rotation is constrained to 0°/180° when grain is locked.
Sheets
Multi-sheet layout
Distributes parts across multiple sheets automatically. Each sheet tab shows placed parts and utilization.
Report
Production report
PDF with sheet thumbnails, part index, and material utilization per sheet. SVG export contains stroke-only part contours.
Batch
Batch calculation
Queue multiple nesting jobs with different materials and settings. Run in sequence.
Product interface

A workspace built for production
