Explore how Nest XL supports DXF-based laser cutting, plasma cutting, waterjet cutting, CNC sheet work, sheet metal fabrication, professional quoting, and remnant reuse.
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 works before machine-specific CAM: organize the DXF job, control how parts may be placed, calculate material and machine cost, prepare a professional quote, and export the nested geometry.
Arrange irregular DXF parts across sheet material with controlled spacing, margins, rotation, mirroring, grain, quantities, and multi-sheet output.

Download either edition in no-expiration Demo Mode. Import your real parts, review geometry, apply constraints, run nests, estimate cost, and generate quotes before deciding which license fits.
Download Nest XLInstall either edition and use it in Demo Mode for as long as needed. A valid license is required only when exporting production DXF files.
