Quick Online Nesting
Upload your parts and quickly create a nesting layout online without installing dedicated nesting software. Ideal for checking material usage, estimating sheet requirements and exploring different nesting possibilities.
Nest&Cut is a powerful web-based automatic nesting solution designed to help sheet metal fabricators optimize material utilization and simplify CNC cutting preparation. It automatically arranges parts on sheets to reduce scrap, improve material yield, and save valuable programming time.
Import your parts, define your sheet and production requirements, and generate optimized nesting layouts in seconds. Nest&Cut supports DXF-based workflows and can generate DXF, PDF and NC outputs for a wide range of cutting technologies and machines.

““The fact that Alma is internationally established has been a key criterion when we decided to choose the software… Today, Alma’s software has become our group-wide nesting standard solution. The software was not only faster but also almost as efficient as an experienced user… We estimated time savings of 50 percent throughout all plants.” ”

We'll bring your machines, your parts, and your real numbers — and show you the difference.
A practical online solution for companies, estimators and programmers who occasionally need to check a nesting job without investing in a full professional nesting system. Access it directly online and get a quick view of your material requirements.
““The ability to manage the nesting and the saving of various sheet off-cuts in order to re-utilize them in later runs was very important in making our choice for act/cut. In addition, one of the things that tied us to choosing act/cut was the possibility guaranteed by Alma of interfacing their programming software to our Baan management system. The use of a single programming system in each of the group’s production plants puts us in the position where we can strategically interchange.” ”

““The Beneteau Group chose Alma as early as 1990 to optimize the cutting of the wood parts used for the partitions and inside arrangements of boats. In order to homogenize our production means, today we use act/cut to program the routing machines of 4 production sites in France and the United-States. The software manages a great diversity of machines and processes: one-sided or double-sided routing of nested parts, edge machining and specific operations on single parts, routing one panel after the other or routing of stacked panels, machining on both sides of the panel… In 2009 the introduction of the module that enables us to directly and automatically assign machining to 3D CAD parts has significantly simplified the preparation and assignment of the parts to the machines.” ”
