NestMaxx

NestMaxx is a free, online true-shape nesting tool for anyone who cuts flat stock to shape on a laser, plasma, waterjet or CNC router. It packs each part by its real outline using the No Fit Polygon method, rather than the rectangle around it, so round and irregular parts slot together tightly. One click races several packing strategies at once and keeps the tightest result. Small parts drop into the holes of larger ones, and the layout spreads across as many sheets as you allow.

Import DXF or SVG files, choose from over 40 parametric shapes, or draw a part in the built-in 2D CAD editor. You control rotation, grain direction, priority, quantity and mirroring per part, set any sheet size in millimetres or inches, and export the nest as DXF (R12) or SVG, one file per sheet.

Everything runs on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and every feature is free.
