Frequently asked questions

DXNest Fabrication 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.

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 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.

You can use DXF drawings with panel contours and an Excel spreadsheet with project parameters, material types, thicknesses, quantities and sheet sizes. DXNest Fabrication automatically detects closed contours, builds a parts list, and prepares optimized nesting layouts based on the available materials.

DXNest Fabrication 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.

Yes. You can define multiple sheet formats and their available quantities, and DXNest Fabrication will distribute parts between them to minimize waste. Material type and thickness are taken into account, so parts are always placed on the correct sheet.

DXNest Fabrication is available as a Windows desktop application and as a browser-based web application at fabrication.dxnest.io. DXNest Motion runs in the browser at motion.dxnest.io.

DXNest Motion supports planar linkages and kinematic pairs, slotted-link mechanisms, one- and two-link slider groups, gear trains, gear sectors, internal gears, rack transmissions, eccentric drives, roller contacts and rolling pressing segments.

DXNest Motion calculates point position, velocity and acceleration; link and segment angle, angular velocity and angular acceleration; and roller clearance or centre distance through the cycle. Results can be graphed and exported as JSON, CSV, SVG, DXF and XLSX.

Yes. DXNest Fabrication can be adapted to your specific fabrication standards, CNC formats and reporting templates. We can develop additional import/export formats, ERP/MES integration, custom calculations and reports, and help integrate the software into your current CAD and production workflow.

DXNest Fabrication and DXNest Motion are quoted according to the product, deployment and team requirements. Contact us at contact@dxnest.io for current licensing details, a tailored quote and a product demonstration.

Yes. Besides licences, DXNest takes on OEM and white-label integrations of the engine, regional distribution and implementation partnerships, and joint development of new engineering products. DXNest is independent and the technology has a single owner, so partnership, strategic and investment conversations are direct, quick to move and handled in confidence. Write to contact@dxnest.io with a short outline and you will have a reply within one business day.
