Stop wasting steel.

Manual nesting leaves money on the cutting table. StarNestPro's true-shape nesting packs irregular parts together with sub-millimeter spacing — the same job that took an hour to lay out by hand runs in seconds, with higher yield.

StarNest nesting 79 parts onto a single sheet

Built for the shop floor

StarNestPro is designed by people who run plasma tables — not just write software.

Auto lead-in / lead-out

Line or arc leads, configurable per material and thickness. Holes and outside profiles each handled correctly.

Multi-sheet nesting

Parts that don't fit flow onto the next sheet automatically. Nest a whole job across as many sheets as it takes.

Cut-time estimates

Estimated cycle time is calculated on export, so you can schedule the table with real numbers.
