NestMaxx is an innovative online tool designed for 2D true-shape nesting, specifically tailored for optimizing parts destined for laser, plasma, waterjet, and CNC router cutting.

Additionally, NestMaxx enables customization of sheet dimensions and spacing, offers manual layout adjustments, and allows exporting of each sheet as DXF or SVG files for seamless integration with various CAD/CAM or machine software.
