Nesting PDF Reports — Stats, Sheets & Parts in One File

Print-ready PDF packs with utilization KPIs, nested sheet visuals, and part lists—parallel to DXF and SVG export paths in Sheet2Nest.

Generate documentation-grade PDFs for quotes, QA, and archives: summary stats, per-sheet layouts, and inventories. Pair with DXF and SVG exports when you need CAD geometry or vector previews alongside a signed-off PDF record.

More Nesting Wizard features

DXF processing

Nest DXF files in your browser with automated placement—sheet cutting optimization and CAD-friendly exports without installing desktop CAD.

Quick Add Part

Create rectangles, circles, brackets, and structural profiles from dimensions—live preview, queue multiple parts, and add them straight into nesting or cost quotes.

Part detection

Closed contours and holes are inferred from DXF geometry—less manual picking before you nest.

Nesting algorithms

Fast greedy plus optimized nesting for DXF sheets—many jobs reduce scrap 20%+ vs naive layouts; results vary by job.

Try it in the nesting wizard

Upload your DXF, review parts, set quantities, and export optimized layouts with utilization reports.
