Import DXF parts, define manufacturing rules, build efficient multi-sheet nests, calculate job cost, create customer quotes, and export production-ready DXF layouts from one local Windows application.
Use the software manually, or let AI Assist take visible control of the nesting decisions that affect material yield.
Run AI Nest automatically selects spacing, edge margin, kerf allowance, legal rotations, mirroring, usable-hole placement, optimizer strategy, and improvement time for the current job. The controlled fields are visibly locked while AI Assist is active so the operator always knows AI is in control. For cutting-machine safety, AI Assist always keeps a positive part separation and never enables part touching or shared-line cutting automatically.
Immediately after DXF import, Nest Genius analyzes each contour, internal hole, legal orientation, mirror option, and part-to-hole fit in the background. The operator can continue preparing the job while reusable geometry intelligence is cached for a faster, stronger nest.
Turn AI Assist off at any time to return spacing, margins, rotation, mirroring, direction, hole use, and optimizer settings to the operator.
AI-generated and manually edited layouts still pass exact overlap, boundary, edge-margin, and spacing checks before production export.
Nest XL connects geometry preparation, nesting rules, material cost, machine time, quoting, reporting, and production output so the finished nest carries useful business information—not just coordinates.
Review closed shapes, internal holes, open entities, bend lines, dimensions, cut length, pierces, and part quantities before nesting.
Set rotation increments, fixed orientation, grain direction, mirror permission, priorities, groups, margins, and minimum spacing.
Place quantities across one or more sheet sizes while preserving holes and respecting the production rules assigned to each part.
Use material, cut, pierce, machine, setup, markup, shipping, tax, and custom values to build a branded customer quote.
Use quantities, rotation increments, fixed orientation, mirroring permission, grain direction, priority, groups, spacing, margins, and nesting inside usable holes. Review open geometry and bend lines before they become production problems.
Material usage, sheet cost, cut length, pierce count, cut speed, pierce delay, machine hourly cost, setup, shipping, tax, markup, and custom items can all contribute to a professional customer quote.
Clear answers for evaluating Nest XL in a production workflow.
It arranges flat parts on sheet material to improve utilization while respecting spacing, margins, orientation, quantities, and geometry constraints.
Nest XL prepares and exports nested DXF layouts. Your compatible CAM or machine software can then apply tooling, leads, cutting technology, and machine code.
Yes. Nest XL is designed around imported DXF geometry, including irregular and concave parts with internal holes.
Yes. Demo Mode does not expire. A license is required only for production DXF export.
Demo Mode does not expire. Import, prepare, nest, cost, and quote. Activate a Standard or Corporate license when you are ready to export production DXF files.
Install either edition and use it in Demo Mode for as long as needed. A valid license is required only when exporting production DXF files.
