deepnest

A fast open source nesting tool for plotter, laser cutters and other CNC tools

deepnest is a desktop application originally based on SVGNest and deepnest

• New nesting engine with speed-critical code, written in C (outsourced to an external NodeJs module)
• Merging of common lines for plotter and laser cuts
• Support for DXF files (through conversion)
• New path approximation function for highly complex parts

Upcoming changes

• more speed with code written in Rust outsourced as modules, the original code was written in JavaScript
• some core libraries rewritten from scratch in Rust so we get even more speed and ensure memory safety
• Save and load settings as presets
• Load nesting projects via CSV or JSON
• Native support of DXF file formats without online conversion
• Cloud nesting: Use our cloud for fast nesting of your projects more soon
