The software utilizes an advanced, true-shape nesting algorithm. Unlike bounding-box nesting, which treats parts as simple rectangles, true-shape nesting rotates and interlocks complex geometries to fit as many parts as possible onto a single raw material sheet. Key Features and Core Workflows
One of the standout features of the 2025 version is its ability to generate multiple nesting studies simultaneously. Manufacturers can compare different material sizes, packaging options, and orientations to determine which configuration offers the highest profitability. These "Nesting Studies" provide detailed reports on efficiency and estimated costs, allowing project managers to make data-driven decisions before a single cut is made on the shop floor.

: The utility calculates the most efficient layout and provides an efficiency rating. Users can manually adjust parts by rotating or mirroring them within the edit dialog. Users can manually adjust parts by rotating or
In beta testing, a small furniture maker used Nesting 2025 to process 2,000 irregular offcuts from a staircase job. The old method: 37% scrap. The new method: 91% utilization—but the real win was when the software flagged a 300mm triangular remnant and suggested, “This matches the required shape of a corner bracket for Order #4472, shipping next week.” shipping next week.”
