Import your DXF and SVG files, optimize layouts across sheets, and export each used sheet as a DXF or SVG layout for your CAM software.
Known in optimization research as Irregular Strip Packing, true-shape nesting works with the real contours of your parts, tucking curves, corners, and cutouts together to use more of every sheet.
Add many DXF and SVG files at once with file selection or drag and drop. Files containing multiple outlines can be kept as a single part or split into separate parts during import. Geometry checks highlight potential issues while preserving your original geometry for export.
Watch nesting in action. Continuous nesting repeats the search until you stop it, keeping only the best run for you to review afterward.
Export one DXF or SVG layout per used sheet, preserving supported original curves such as arcs, splines, and Bézier paths. Import the layouts into your CAM software to generate toolpaths and machine code.
Set up the search, refine your layouts, and prepare the details for your next production step.
Move, rotate, mirror, and copy parts individually or in groups. Live checks highlight overlaps and clearance conflicts, and your original run stays intact.
Export material requirements, a numbered part list, and scaled sheet layouts in one PDF, with optional company logo branding.
Control rotation and mirroring for individual parts to keep grain aligned or prevent handed parts from being flipped.
Let smaller parts fit inside internal cutouts to use more of the sheet. Turn this off when those areas are not usable stock.
Set sheet-edge margins and spacing between parts for your cutting process. The same clearances apply during manual editing.
Save source drawings, settings, and nesting history in one portable project file, ready to reopen later.
