multi setting out items on a CNC machine

Post by ross » Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:45 am

Hi
3.22 mac

Please can you tell me if it is possible to quickly layout multi items to be cut on a cnc machine.

I think this may be called nesting.

Thanks Ross

There is currently no automatic function in QCAD to accomplish a part nesting.

Maybe this link regarding third party nesting programs will help you to come quickly to a solution ...
