World class system

Trusted by our customers, respected by our peers

JETCAM Expert has won dozens of awards, due to its demonstrable return on investment in three key areas - Machine, Manpower and Material. Efficient nesting can often pay for the software in months, but the long-term payback will be in the time and effort you save.

Multi-sheet nesting allows you to create even better optimisation by considering different patterns across multiple sheets.

Industry-leading Nesting options

JETCAM offers nesting for all requirements. Punching customers can benefit from instant rectangular nesting, with the built-in option of high performance rectangular nesting, providing a time-based algorithm for better efficiency. Our Free Form (true shape) Automatic Nesting (FFAN) delivers near-instant nests, while High Performance and Ultra Performance nesting options are aimed at sheet metal and composite customers cutting large amounts or expensive materials, where even a 1% saving can make a significant difference.
