Step-by-step guides for every tool — from your first coil slit to advanced cost analysis and team workflows.
Start with the most common workflows, or jump directly to the topic you need.
Optimize a master coil into multiple slit widths. Minimize scrap, generate cut patterns, and export professional PDF reports.
Nest complex shapes onto a sheet for laser cutting or waterjet. Import DXF files, use any-angle rotation, and maximize material utilization.
Plan multi-strip cut-to-length jobs. Define widths, lengths, and quantities for each strip. Use Link Lengths to sync all strips at once.
Upload your master and slit coil inventories as CSV files. The planner shows you which coils to use and generates slitting plans to fulfill demand.
Upload a CSV of your standard parts — strips, master coils, and slit coils. Filter, browse, and load them directly into any optimizer.
Define material presets with densities. Enable cost calculation on any optimizer to get total material cost, good-parts cost, and scrap cost estimates.
Save any optimization as a reusable template. Every successful run is recorded automatically in Run History — with PDF export at any time.
Generate professional PDF reports for any job — cutting patterns, visualizations, KPI summaries, and cost breakdowns. Export DXF layouts from Nesting.
