Motif
DXF nesting for sheet metal, laser cutting, plasma, and CNC routing. Optimize material utilization. Reduce scrap. Maximize yield per sheet.
Material is expensive. Every percent of utilization matters. Manual nesting is slow and leaves money on the table. Most nesting software is either crazy expensive or tied to specific machines. Motif gives you fast, automated nesting that integrates with your existing workflow.
Multi-Part Nesting
Nest different parts together on the same sheet. Handles irregular shapes, not just rectangles.
Rotation Optimization
Free rotation, 90-degree only, or locked orientation. Respects grain direction when it matters.
Spacing Control
Set part-to-part spacing and edge margins. Account for kerf, heat distortion, or clamping requirements.
Multi-Sheet Packing
Automatically creates additional sheets when parts overflow. Maximizes utilization across the job.
DXF In, DXF Out
Standard DXF format. Import your parts, export nested layouts ready for your machine.
HTTP API
Integrate nesting into your quoting workflow. Send parts, get back optimized layouts.
