Plate cutting software

Plate cutting software that runs the whole job

Built for plate cutting and laser cutting shops. Bring in the customer's drawings, nest the plate, price the job, send the nest to the machine and follow it through the workshop to the invoice, in one system.

Drawings in

Any drawing the customer sends

Import DXF, DWG, NC1, STEP and PDF files. Folded STEP parts are unfolded to a flat pattern, and every part gets its size, weight and cutting length worked out for you.

Nesting

True-shape nesting on your own plate sizes

Parts are nested by their real outline on the sheet sizes you stock, with material and thickness kept apart, so the quote is based on the plate the job really uses.

Workshop

From the nest to the machine to the truck

Push a nest to the laser and the operator sees it on the floor app, ticks each sheet as it is cut, and the order moves along. Folding, test certificates, packing slips and delivery follow on.
