True-shape nesting
Packs each part by its real outline, holes included.
Part-in-Part Pro
Seats small parts inside holes and openings.
Fill Container Pro
Fills a shape with your parts, or nests around it and keeps it clear.
Plugin for Adobe Illustrator Pro
On its way: nest right on your artboard in Adobe Illustrator.
Real results
More parts. Less waste.
Real nests from the app, next to the kind of job they're cut for. Parts pack tight to one end, so the offcut stays in one piece.

Laser cutting
More parts. Less material.
Nest detailed shapes tightly together to maximize every sheet of wood, acrylic, or metal and reduce costly material waste.
Print & Cut
Print smarter. Cut more in one job.
Nest artwork and cut paths together to minimize media waste and keep more finished pieces on every roll or sheet.
CNC / Plasma
Maximize every sheet.
Pack parts efficiently against a preferred edge to reduce scrap, preserve usable offcut, and get more jobs from every sheet.
Built for real work
Everything you need to nest with confidence.
From simple shapes to complex parts with holes: set the sheet, press Nest, and export a clean, ready-to-cut file.
-
Max Fill Pro
Keeps adding whole sets until the sheet is full. Random Fill scatters parts evenly over the sheet or a shape instead.
-
Sheet and spacing
Set the sheet size, spacing between parts, margin, and inches or millimetres.
-
Effort you choose
Fast nests on every plan. Balanced and Precise, for tighter layouts, on Pro.
-
Spacing check before export
Export checks the spacing between parts first and tells you if any are too close.
-
True outlines out
Exported files carry each part's real outline, placed where the nest put it.
-
Extra sheets Pro
When the parts don't fit on one sheet, the nest carries on onto the next one.
