Automated Engineering Software for Panel Fabrication
DXNest streamlines your fabrication processes by automating production preparation: it reads DXF drawings and Excel part lists, nests parts onto your stock sheets, and delivers CNC programs, bills of materials and reports — reducing waste and manual work from concept to completion.

What DXNest does
Eight jobs your engineers stop doing by hand
One workflow takes a project from incoming drawings to CNC-ready files and shop-floor documents.
Panel geometry generation
Generates precise panel geometry from drawings or parametric panel types — with angles, holes and scaling rules — ready for fabrication.
Smart nesting engine
Optimizes part layouts on sheets to minimize scrap and improve material utilization.
CNC code generation
Creates ready-to-run CNC programs for fabrication lines in a few clicks, with per-material machine settings.
Multi-sheet & stock support
Works with multiple sheet sizes and available stock, following real production constraints.
Bill of materials automation
Automatically builds detailed BOMs for panels, hardware and materials.
High-performance engine
Handles thousands of parts with parallel processing and an accelerated placement search.
Documentation & reporting
Generates packing slips, labels, PDFs, Excel reports and production summaries automatically.
Time savings
From days of preparation to minutes
Measured end to end on real projects: import, nesting, CNC programs and documentation.
50 panels
5 minutes
instead of 2–4 hours by hand
100 panels
10 minutes
instead of 1 day by hand
500 panels
15–20 minutes
instead of 2 days by hand
How it works
Four steps from drawings to the shop floor
-
01
Create a project
Import DXF drawings or pick parametric panel types. DXNest detects closed contours and builds the parts list for you.
-
02
Set materials & sheets
Load dimensions and quantities from Excel, choose material types, thicknesses, sheet formats and available stock.
-
03
Generate
One click runs nesting, CNC program generation, BOM, packing slips and labels — minutes even for 500-panel projects.
-
04
Send to production
Hand the shop floor nested DXF layouts, CNC files and PDF/Excel reports that are ready to use as-is.

Frequently asked questions
What is DXNest?
DXNest is a CAD/CAM software system that automates the entire preparation process for sheet-metal and façade production. It reads parts from DXF drawings and Excel files, performs nesting on available sheet sizes, and generates DXF layouts, CNC programs, bills of materials, packing slips and material reports.
Who is DXNest designed for?
DXNest is intended for façade engineering companies, metal fabrication shops, and manufacturers that work with aluminum or steel panels, cladding systems and other sheet-metal components. It is especially useful when you have many similar parts and need to prepare nesting and CNC files quickly and accurately.
What input data does DXNest require?
You can use DXF drawings with panel contours and an Excel spreadsheet with project parameters, material types, thicknesses, quantities and sheet sizes. DXNest automatically detects closed contours, builds a parts list, and prepares optimized nesting layouts based on the available materials.
What outputs does DXNest generate?
DXNest generates nested DXF layouts, CNC programs for cutting machines, bills of materials, packing slips, and detailed material usage reports in Excel and PDF formats. These documents can be used directly in production and for project documentation.
