2D nesting software
Arrange irregular DXF parts across sheet material with controlled spacing, margins, rotation, mirroring, grain, quantities, and multi-sheet output.
Explore 2D nesting software →Nesting solutions by workflow
2D nesting, quoting, and material control for modern fabrication.
Explore how Nest XL supports DXF-based laser cutting, plasma cutting, waterjet cutting, CNC sheet work, sheet metal fabrication, professional quoting, and remnant reuse.
Find the workflow that matches your shop
One local platform. Many sheet-cutting applications.
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.
DXF nesting software
Prepare imported drawings, preserve holes, review geometry, build nests, and export production DXF layouts.
Explore DXF nesting software →Laser cutting nesting
Use cut length, pierces, machine rate, material cost, and the actual nest to prepare laser jobs and quotes.
Explore Laser cutting nesting →Plasma cutting nesting
Organize mixed DXF quantities, practical spacing, material use, quote values, and nested production layouts.
Explore Plasma cutting nesting →Waterjet nesting
Control orientation and high-value material use while estimating and quoting waterjet sheet work.
Explore Waterjet nesting →Sheet metal nesting
Connect DXF parts, grain, handed components, sheet cost, quoting, stock, remnants, and production.
Explore Sheet metal nesting →CNC nesting software
Create machine-neutral nested DXF layouts for compatible downstream CAM and CNC workflows.
Explore CNC nesting software →Fabrication quoting
Build customer prices from material use, cut and pierce data, machine cost, setup, markup, tax, and custom items.
Explore Fabrication quoting →Remnant management
Track full sheets, irregular drops, exact skeletons, storage, consumption, and future reuse in Corporate.
Explore Remnant management →
Test with your real drawings
Compatibility is best proven with your own DXF files.
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.
