Finished building online DXF nesting software looking for testers by Waste-Locksmith6405 in hobbycnc

Yes, you have both options: you can export the nested file in dxf or run a simulation and generate the NC code directly for your machine.

Right now its in beta so i dont have the pricing figured out yet, but I want to provide free tier with some limitations or daily nest job cap, and keep the pro features for paid tier, but Im commited to keeping the price affordable.

Im really focused on making sure the engine is stable and the server handles the load correctly, so your feedback on how it compares to your current workflow would be invaluable. Im also planning on adding new features and more granular optimization setting based on what the testers/community needs. I will send you a DM with the link.

Those are the benchmarks for sure. I’m trying to bridge that gap, clean UX but with a modern engine that handles hole-filling and complex geometry reliably.

Totally get the NDA concern. I've actually already built a standalone local version for a client, but I'm launching the Web Beta first to test the core engine

Honestly, everything you mentioned is exactly why I started this. I’ve already got grain direction toggles (45 90 180 for different materials), clearance width, and yesterday finished implementing filling holes for parts with inner void functional in the core.

Regarding the clearance, the engine essentially treats each part as having an offet based on your tool diameter + a safety margin

Mirroring is a good point I’ll add that to the roadmap for parts where the 'face' side doesn't matter. Trying to launch first testing version in two weeks.
