Collect the parts
Import DXF geometry, set quantities, inspect dimensions, preserve holes, and review geometry concerns.
Sheet metal nesting and quoting
Turn sheet metal DXF parts into nests, costs, quotes, and production files.
From a handful of brackets to a large mixed fabrication order, Nest XL helps you organize part quantities, manufacturing constraints, sheet choices, job cost, customer pricing, remnant value, and production output.

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.
Respect manufacturing intent
Use grain direction, mirror rules, angle limits, priorities, assemblies, spacing, and margins.
Understand material consumption
See how parts occupy one or more sheets and use actual sheet dimensions and unit costs in job calculations.
Move quoted work forward
Corporate can archive quotes, mark them In Process, consume stock, create remnants, and retain an audit trail.
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.
- Use sheet cost in pricing calculations
- Handle mixed part quantities and sizes
- Control grain and handed parts
- Create customer-ready quote PDFs
- Track stock and storage metadata in Corporate
- Recover Clean Drop and Exact Skeleton remnants
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.
Is Nest XL only for rectangular parts?
No. It is intended for imported DXF geometry, including irregular contours, concavities, and parts with holes.
Can it quote sheet metal jobs?
Yes. The quote engine can combine material, machine, setup, markup, shipping, tax, and custom items.
How does Corporate handle inventory?
Corporate tracks full sheets, approved sizes, quantities, cost, material metadata, irregular remnants, production consumption, and remnant creation.
Can it export reports without a license?
Demo users can evaluate reports and quoting. A valid license is required for production DXF export.
Use your own DXF files
