SnugNest 2D — true-shape nesting for DXF parts
A planned Windows tool that arranges DXF parts across sheet material and exports cut-ready layouts.
Field notes
SnugNest 2D describes a DXF nesting workflow for fabrication shops: users can import batches, validate geometry, optimize layouts with rotation and mirroring, review populated sheets, and export one DXF per sheet. Its example uses 18 parts across two 48 × 96 inch sheets and reports 87.4% utilization. The page says Windows 10/11 support is available, while macOS is planned. The demo installer and Gumroad products remain unpublished, making this a useful candidate for a later check.
