One app for the whole shop. Copy parts from Rhino, AutoCAD, SolidWorks — any CAD program — paste them in, and nest every job onto as few sheets as possible. Sign in with your SmartNest account; your plan and seats come with you.
Windows 10 / 11 · 64-bit. Installs per user (no admin needed) and keeps itself up to date — new versions download in the background and apply when you close the app.
Choose your stock and your drop cut per job, and save whole jobs
New: Save a job as a .smartnest file (Ctrl+S) - parts, groups, nested sheets, drops and settings - and open it later to re-print job sheets, re-export or record 'Cut done' (Ctrl+O)
New: Separate 'Use my drops' and 'Use my stocked sheets' choices on the Nest screen - leave inventory alone for a job when you want fresh stock
New: Drop cut (staircase or one straight line) is now chosen on the Nest screen and can be switched after nesting - the sheets update without re-nesting
Fixed: Export choices are no longer reset after every nest
Fixed: 'Cut done - save drops' works once per nest, so the same drops can't be saved twice
