Zorocut vs CypCut built-in nesting (Bochu)

Every Bochu-controlled fiber laser ships with CypCut's built-in nesting, so it costs nothing extra. Its own manual caps it at 50 part types and 20 sheets, with “array” as the only nesting strategy, and the nesting happens on the machine's PC, not in the office. It has co-edge, bridges, micro-joints and remnants, but no quote.

In short

CypCut's built-in nesting is fine for a few part types on a few sheets at the machine. Once a job goes past 50 part types or 20 sheets, or you need true-shape nesting and a price before you cut, Zorocut does that work in the office and hands CypCut a ready DXF.

Where CypCut nesting is better than Zorocut

  • It is already on the machine and costs nothing extra.
  • No file hand-off: parts are nested where they are cut.
  • Co-edge, bridges, micro-joints and the machine's own cutting techniques.

Price difference per year

No difference to count: CypCut's nesting comes with the controller, and Zorocut Free costs €0 too. Zorocut's paid plans start at €190 a year (Cutter).

Looking for a CypCut nesting alternative?

Zorocut nests and quotes on your own computer — macOS, Windows, Linux or the browser — and gives CypCut, FSCUT or Raytools a layered DXF. The Free plan has unlimited nesting and 10 exports or quotes a month, with no card.

How to switch

Nothing to uninstall. Nest the job in Zorocut in the office, export the layered DXF, and open it in CypCut on the machine as you would any other DXF.
