Sheet cutting layout prog needed

[Justme]

I need to cut out about 20 items of varying sizes (but all rectangles) out of some sheet material. Been looking at a few demo's progs but they all seem to be limited in function so wont do what I need. Does any one know of one that can handle that many items, can rotate, & can use more than one sheet size?


Cheers Justme

It's called nesting software. A US company called Metalsoft used to do a good one, but that was a few years ago now.

I use sheet cam, but its not free, about the best budget software for the app tho, think it was around £60

You import the items as DWF files, and output to G code.....

you can set sheet thickness layouts, offsets, run in/out paths, rapids and has plugins for THC etc..... support is excellent worth the cash.....
