OptiNest - True shape optimized nesting

Suitable for any industry - maximise materials utilisation - wood, metal, glass, stone, fabric - simple to use - save time and money

When it comes to cutting non-rectangular shapes, you need OptiNest true shape nesting. OptiNest will optimise the cutting of any shape, and multiples of the same shape.

Like OptiCut V, the science behind OptiNest is a series of highly sophisticated algorithms which make it possible to calculate multiple combinations, accurately and at speed. OptiNest will present you with the best solution for your requirements - the solution that uses the smallest number of sheets - saving you money, and time. OptiNest will produce results in seconds. Leave it to run for a minute or so and you get a more refined result.

Nesting systems with weaker algorithms, such as those often supplied as standard with machinery, take longer or may not give you the best result. Install OptiNest to work with your current software for better, more cost-effective control of your raw materials.

Suitable for laser cutting, engineers, wood workers and any business that is CNC cutting and requires nested maps to quickly maximise the best use of materials.

Features include:

  • Parameters include cutting tool thickness, calculation depth, smoothing factor
  • Imports pieces outlines, toolings and inner openings in DXF format
  • Takes into account each piece's material, quantity, rotation and reversal capabilities
  • Quick entry of rectangular, circular and polygonal shapes
  • Propagate single pieces produced in large quantities, minimising off-cuts
  • Handles bored pieces and reuses recovered material for smaller pieces
  • Export nested map in DXF format to any CAD CAM software, maintaining pieces and tooling with full DXF description
  • Import from any CAD or CAD CAM program
  • Available in multiple versions (from 250 pieces to unlimited) which makes software affordable at all levels
