Macro Nest
CNC Nesting Solution for Laser, Water Jet, Plasma, and Gas Cutting
MACRO NEST is a comprehensive CNC nesting software designed to optimize your sheet metal cutting operations. It combines intelligent automation with practical flexibility to help you reduce material waste, improve efficiency, and maintain consistent quality — across every job, every time.
Whether you’re cutting with laser, plasma, water jet, or gas, Macro Nest adapts seamlessly to your workflow, ensuring that your production stays fast, accurate, and cost-effective.
Smarter Nesting for Smarter Manufacturing
Macro Nest’s advanced nesting engine optimizes the arrangement of parts on the sheet, ensuring maximum material utilization and minimum scrap. The software automatically detects, repairs, and prepares CAD drawings (DXF/DWG), eliminating manual cleanup time and preventing common design errors before cutting.
With interactive nesting, you can take full control — use array, bump, free-hand, or mosaic nesting methods to fit your specific production style. Macro Nest intelligently chooses the best approach for each part based on your machine’s capabilities and cutting strategy.
Macro Nest can choose the best approach for each operation, based on your machine capabilities. Automatic micro-joints, lead-ins/outs, loops etc. Interactive nesting gives you the flexibility to nest your parts in different ways, such as arrays, bump nesting free hand and mosaic nesting. You can also customize your machine commands for different operations, such as repositioning, parting, unloading and skeleton destruction.
You can define and customize:
- Micro-joints, lead-ins, and lead-outs
- Cutting loops and sequencing
- Repositioning, part unloading, and skeleton destruction commands
- Automation Meets Flexibility
Macro Nest doesn’t just automate — it adapts.
The software intelligently sequences your cutting operations to minimize travel time and torch movement, resulting in smoother, faster jobs
.
Macro Nest integrates effortlessly with your existing ERP or production management systems.
It helps streamline your entire workflow — from part import to production scheduling — allowing you to manage:
- Material inventory
- Work orders
- Machine assignments
- Production reports
