Nestor: true-shape DXF nesting
A browser-based tool advertised for nesting DXF parts by their outlines, with a separate planner for rectangular shear cuts.
- For
- Fabrication shops using DXF cutting workflows
- Worth noticing
- Remnants can be defined by DXF outlines, including cutouts; the homepage says the output is a separate DXF for each sheet.
Field notes
The homepage describes two workflows: importing DXF shapes for laser, plasma, waterjet, or router cutting, and entering a rectangular cut list for a shear. It says users will be able to mix standard sheets, custom sizes, and DXF-defined remnants, then download sheet-by-sheet DXFs; the shear tool is described as producing ordered cuts, back-gauge settings, and a PDF plan. The site marks the product “Coming soon,” so these are presented capabilities, not verified operation.
