From nest to machine: G-code export with lead-ins and layer routing

The nested layout is only half the job; the machine needs a program. Nestpact now generates G-code directly from your nest for laser, plasma, and waterjet machines.

Built for real controllers

  • Lead-in / lead-out geometry so the pierce lands away from the finished edge.
  • Layer to operation routing. Map DXF layers to cut, engrave, mark, drill, or centerline operations, each with its own tool.
  • Cut-path optimization orders the parts so the head travels less between cuts.
  • A built-in NC viewer with motion simulation and a scrub bar, so you can sanity-check the program before it touches metal.
