For sign makers & plastics

Get more signs out of every sheet

Acrylic and composite sheet is expensive. CutNest nests panels and small parts together on your sheet sizes so you buy fewer sheets, and prices the job while you are at it.

Nest a sign job on 3mm acrylic

A panel, plaques and trays on a full and a half sheet. Change the sizes to your own job.

For sign makers and plastic fabricators

Full and half sheets

Give CutNest the sheet sizes you stock with their prices and it chooses the cheapest combination, including half sheets when the job does not need a full one.

Router or laser

Free placement for CNC router and laser work, with the gap you leave between parts (a cutter’s diameter on a router).

Mixed materials, one job (Pro)

Acrylic faces, composite backs and aluminium box section for the frame, nested and costed together.

Directional finishes (Pro)

Brushed or patterned sheet can be grain-locked so every part keeps the same direction.

Quotes in a minute (Pro)

Material with markup, machine time from the layout, installation or delivery as extra lines, VAT, and your logo on the quote.

Offcut stock (Pro)

Keep the usable offcuts from each job and use them before the next full sheet.

Questions

Straight answers

At least the cutter diameter (for example 6mm), plus anything you leave for tabs. Set it as the kerf and CutNest keeps that gap between every pair of parts.
