Import drawings
Load DXF drawings, recognize parts, preserve internal holes, assign quantities, and inspect dimensions and cut information.
Local DXF nesting software
DXF nesting software that keeps geometry, costing, and quoting connected.
Nest XL gives fabricators a controlled path from individual DXF drawings to nested sheet layouts, material estimates, professional quotes, production reports, and licensed DXF export.

A complete workflow
More than automatic part placement.
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.
Resolve questionable geometry
Review open lines, bend lines, and non-closed entities before deciding whether they belong in the nest.
Apply manufacturing constraints
Choose rotation, mirror, grain, spacing, margins, priorities, groups, and whether other parts may occupy usable holes.
Export with context
Create reports and quote documents, then export nested DXF production layouts when a valid license is active.
Control every part
Set the rules the way your shop needs them.
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.
- Keep customer DXF files on the local computer
- See part previews before nesting
- Sort quantities across multiple sheets
- Track cut length and pierce information
- Build branded customer quotes
- Save projects for later revision
Cost and quote the actual job
Turn nesting data into a price you can defend.
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.
Material costUse sheet dimensions, quantity, unit cost, and actual nest consumption.
Estimated machine timeBuild estimates from cut length, pierces, speed, delay, and hourly rate.
Professional quote outputCreate branded PDF quotes with customer data, terms, notes, and validity.
Common questions
What shops usually ask.
Clear answers for evaluating Nest XL in a production workflow.
Which DXF entities are supported?
Support depends on the geometry present in the file. Demo Mode lets you test your own drawings before purchasing.
Are internal holes preserved?
The workflow is designed to preserve internal holes and treat them as geometry, not separate parts.
Can parts be mirrored?
Yes. Mirroring can be permitted or restricted on a part-by-part basis.
Is an internet connection required for DXF processing?
DXF work remains local. Internet access is used for purchase, activation, periodic license verification, and updates.
Use your own DXF files

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.
