Zorocut Nest · desktop

The nester that prices the job while it fills the sheet.

Drop the customer's DXF, let Zoro clean it up and nest it true-shape, and quote the job before you load a sheet. Exports a clean DXF for CypCut, FSCUT and Raytools. macOS, Windows and Linux.

Desktop builds are coming; try the online nester now.

What it does

Import & cleanup

DXF lines, arcs, circles, polylines, splines and blocksUnits read from the file, or detected when the file does not saySmall gaps closed and duplicate lines removed, each repair reportedText, dimensions and annotation layers kept off the cut

Nesting

True-shape nesting on the sheet formats you stockPart-in-part: small parts land inside the holes of big onesRotation in 90° steps, or 0/180° to keep the grainMirrored copies for left and right pairs

Quoting

Machine time from cut length, pierces and cornersPrice per part and per order, with setup fee, margin and minimum orderMaterial billed on the bounding box, the nested area or full sheetsStarter speed tables you replace with your own machine's

Remnants

Every nest reports the unused strip of the sheetRemnant library to reuse offcuts (Shop plan)

Export for your controller

One DXF per sheet: lines, arcs and circles only, in mmFixed ZC_CUT, ZC_MARK and ZC_ENGRAVE layers to map once in the controllerArcs stay true arcs; no splines, blocks or polylines in the outputZorocut never writes G-code: your controller stays in charge

Made for the controllers small shops run

CypCut and FSCUT on Bochu-controlled fiber lasers, Raytools, and plasma tables through SheetCAM. You map the Zorocut layers once; after that every sheet imports the same way.

Zorocut does not drive the machine. The operator checks every program in the controller before cutting.
