Stop wasting steel.

Manual nesting leaves money on the cutting table. StarNest'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.

  • Quick, advanced & genetic-algorithm nesting modes
  • Hole nesting and automatic multi-sheet layouts
  • Automatic lead-in / lead-out and kerf compensation
StarNest nesting 79 parts onto a single sheet

Built for the shop floor

StarNest comes from Bulltear Industries — 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.
