    Nesting Software

    Any suggestions for nesting software for cutting (laser/plasma) sheetmetal parts?

    We don't cut ourselves but our estimators would like something to drop the required DXF profiles into that would show how many sheets are needed and so get an idea of material usage. Ideally it would also give the length of lines to be cut.

    Oh, and they'd like it to be inexpensive!

    $2500 is the cheapest I know of with OneCNC. The next step up would be Sigma Nest which is $$$$$$$$$.
