DXNest · Engineering software
DXNest Fabrication runs a fabrication company from the first quote to CNC-ready production — sales, parametric parts, nesting, planning, the shop floor, field crews and the client portal on one system. DXNest Motion turns a mechanism sketch into a solved cycle with trajectories, velocities and comparison graphs.
DXNest products
DXNest develops engineering software for fabrication companies and mechanism design: DXNest Fabrication runs a fabrication company from the first quote to CNC-ready production, DXNest Fabrication Solo gives one engineer the nesting and CNC application, and DXNest Motion helps engineers construct, simulate and analyze planar mechanisms.
For fabrication companies
The whole company on one system: quotes with real costing, orders and parametric parts, nesting and CNC, planning, the shop floor, stock, work cards, crews on the phone and the client portal.
CAD/CAM for one engineer
The nesting application on its own: DXF drawings and Excel part lists in; nested layouts, CNC programs, BOMs, labels and reports out — in minutes.
Kinematics in the browser
DXNest Motion is browser-based kinematics software for constructing, simulating and analyzing planar mechanisms, including linkages, sliders, gears, racks, eccentric drives, rollers and rolling segments.
DXNest Fabrication
Every department of a fabrication company works in DXNest Fabrication — from the first call to the installed and invoiced job.
What DXNest Fabrication does
One system carries a job from the first quote to CNC-ready files, the shop floor, the site and the invoice.
By hand, today
With DXNest Fabrication
Pricing a job in a spreadsheet from last year’s rates and a guess at the labour.
Quotes are priced from the operations a part really goes through — material, setup and per-piece minutes, machine hours, overhead and markup.
Redrawing every panel in CAD with its flanges, holes and bend allowances.
Type the sizes on an order line and DXNest builds the exact flat pattern, bend lines, 3D part and bill of materials.
Arranging parts on sheets by hand and post-processing every sheet for the machine.
One run nests the order on the sheets in stock, reserves the material and writes the CNC programs for the chosen machine.
A whiteboard schedule that is out of date by the afternoon.
Setup time plus processing time × quantity puts every order on the departments’ calendar, against their capacity.
Paper job tickets, phone calls and photos lost in someone’s camera roll.
Site measures, drawings, deliveries, installations and service calls as cards with checklists, photos and signatures.
Collecting hand-written timesheets and checking who was really on site.
Crews clock in at the site on their phones; the geofence checks where, and the timesheet fills itself in.
Leads in an inbox, follow-ups on sticky notes, PDFs attached by hand.
Every lead moves through the pipeline with follow-ups; quotes, invoices and packing slips are e-mailed from their own page.
Answering “where is my order?” and re-typing orders from e-mails.
Clients follow their orders, accept quotes, see invoices and send drawings straight into a new order.
Time savings
Production preparation measured end to end on real projects: parts, nesting, CNC programs and documentation — in DXNest Fabrication and Fabrication Solo alike.

How it works
Price it from your own costing, e-mail the quote from DXNest and let the CRM follow it up until it is won.
The quote becomes an order, its lines become parametric parts, and the material check reserves your stock.
One run nests the parts and writes the CNC programs; the plan puts the work on your departments and operators.
Work cards send crews to the site, the phone app keeps their time, and the client follows it all in the portal.
Get DXNest
The office, the shop floor and the crews on one system — in the browser and on the phone. Every person signs in with your company’s domain and sees what their role needs.
The nesting and CNC application for one engineer — in the browser at fabrication.dxnest.io, or on a Windows workstation that works offline.
DXNest Motion
Nothing to install: construct a planar mechanism, solve its full cycle, read the motion data and export the results. Projects stay in your account.
FAQ
DXNest Fabrication is software that runs a sheet-metal and façade fabrication company on one system. Quotes are priced from real fabrication operations, an accepted quote becomes an order whose lines become parametric parts, and the same data drives nesting, CNC programs, production planning, the operator workstation, stock and purchasing, work cards, the mobile time clock, the CRM, e-mail and the client portal.
DXNest Fabrication Solo is the nesting and CNC application for one engineer. It reads parts from DXF drawings, Excel part lists and parametric panel types, nests them on the available sheet sizes, and generates DXF layouts, CNC programs, bills of materials, packing slips, labels and reports. Inside DXNest Fabrication the same application is the Nesting module.
DXNest Motion is browser-based kinematics software for constructing, simulating and analyzing planar mechanisms. Engineers can build mechanisms from links, sliders, gears, racks, eccentric drives and rolling contacts, animate a full cycle, calculate motion parameters, compare graphs and export results.
DXNest Fabrication is designed for façade, cladding and metal fabrication companies that quote, produce and often install aluminium or steel panels, profiles and other sheet-metal parts — the office, the shop floor and the field crews together. A single engineer who only needs nesting and CNC files uses DXNest Fabrication Solo.
Partnership
DXNest is independent: both products are designed, built and supported by their author, and the technology has a single owner. Alongside licences, that makes several kinds of collaboration straightforward.
Run the DXNest nesting, CNC or kinematics engine inside your own product — under your brand, with the formats and interfaces your workflow needs.
Represent DXNest in your region or industry. We back partners with configuration, training, client-specific development and second-line support.
Joint product development, long-term technology alliances, and strategic or investment discussions — with a single owner on this side of the table, they move as fast as both sides want them to.
Say what you have in mind. Enquiries go straight to the author of the software, and are answered within one business day, in confidence.
