Advanced cutting optimization features
Nest&Cut is built on powerful nesting algorithms and includes many advanced nesting features.

Parts automatic cleaning
Quality of DXF or DWG geometries is a recurring problem in CAM. Fastidious and extremely time-consuming operations are required to be able to use these geometries for cutting. One of Nest&Cut's specific features is that it includes advanced functions for automatic cleaning of DXF or DWG geometry to avoid these problems. To do this, Nest&Cut performs automatic relinking and removal of auto-intersections.
True shape automatic nesting
Nest&Cut chooses the best part orientation among allowed orientations. Part rotation can be customized, globally and invidually. Part recesses are used to recursively nest parts in other parts ("inside-part nesting").
Multi-format nesting
Nest&Cut performs global optimization on multiple sheets to save more material. Sheets of different sizes can be used. Moreover, in order to improve productivity in case of more parts, Nest&Cut manages nesting multiplicity: the application generates a few different layouts that will be used several times.
Cutting order generation
After optimizing nesting layouts, Nest&Cut generates cutting trajectories for a large variety of machines with an optimized sequence to reduce cutting time. It can also output nesting layouts in DXF with an optimized cutting order of parts.
Re-nest existing layouts
Nest&Cut can read and improve DXF or DWG nesting layouts that were created using another system. Nest&Cut can nest more parts on the same material sheet, thereby reducing material scrap and cost.
Ready for production
Nest&Cut exports DXF nestings or optimized NC code (Amada, Hypertherm, CypCut, GCode and more coming). An interactive simulation gives you a look at the code and a detailed PDF reports helps your workshop operator to control the production.

Sheet priorities
How to make a nesting with sheet priorities.
Nest&Cut allows you to set a higher priority on some sheets, so that they are consumed first.
It might be useful for instance to consume a little offcute from the previous nesting you cut.
