Zorocut vs Lapas
Lapas is a browser true-shape nester with a real free plan: unlimited nesting, 5 exports a month, and sheet inventory and remnants on every plan. Pro is $49 a month, or $39 a month billed yearly. It imports many formats and exports DXF, SVG, PLT and beta G-code, makes a PDF report but no customer quote, and lists no CypCut or FSCUT output.

Looking for a Lapas alternative?
