As described by Borte in the article “What is nesting software?” nesting software plays a vital role in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, especially in sheet metal fabrication. Nesting refers to the digital process of arranging parts to be cut from metal sheets in the most efficient layout possible—minimizing waste and optimizing production output.
The nesting process begins when an engineer or designer creates a 3D part using CAD software. These files are then imported into the nesting system, where they are flattened into 2D layouts and prepared for cutting. Nesting software translates the geometry of each part—including its size, contours, holes, and material properties—into an accurate digital file. More advanced nesting programs can process multiple parts in batches, significantly reducing the time needed for manual layout and minimizing workflow bottlenecks.
