Upload DXF — quote and nest in your browser
DXF nesting software — true-shape nest and priced quote, one plan
Nest from DXF: true-shape layout preview — priced quote in the same app, not a nest-only dead end.
DXF nesting software with quoting built in. Upload DXF for true-shape nest on sheet one; export priced quotes on paid plans. Unlike nest-only tools, you do not re-type pierce counts into a separate quote template.
- True-shape nest in browser — same parser as cut metrics
- Sample nest preview without card; full sheets on subscription
- Pair with DXF analyzer to validate file geometry first
How PrixCut estimates and quotes laser jobs
- Upload DXF — one or many files; same parser as the public DXF analyzer.
- Assign material per part from your catalog (rates in $/inch or $/meter and pierce fees).
- Run nest + metrics — true-shape layout, cut length, pierces, first-sheet utilization.
- Export quote — sample PDF in preview; priced XLSX/PDF on a paid plan.
True-shape nest — not a separate workflow
Many shops use a free or desktop nest export, then manually copy pierce counts into a quote template. PrixCut runs true-shape nesting in the same pipeline as cut metrics and priced exports — preview utilization on sheet one, then upgrade to full multi-sheet nest on a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does PrixCut include true-shape nesting?
Yes. True-shape nesting runs in the same pipeline as your quote — not a separate desktop add-on. Preview the first sheet in the browser; full multi-sheet nest and priced exports are on a paid subscription.
Why not use a free nest tool and quote separately?
Free nesters often export layout only — you still re-type pierce counts and sheet totals into a quote template. PrixCut keeps nest metrics and quote exports in one pipeline so preview and PDF stay aligned.
How fast can I send a PDF quote from DXF?
Most job shops upload DXF, assign material per part, and preview nest metrics in minutes. Trial and preview tiers show cut metrics and a sample PDF without prices; exportable XLSX/PDF quotes with your rates — on a paid plan after email verification.
What file format does the nest use?
Upload standard DXF (LINE, LWPOLYLINE, ARC, circles, blocks). The same parser powers cut-length metrics, nest placement, and quote line items — no duplicate geometry entry.
Can I stop quoting laser jobs in Excel?
Yes. Upload DXF instead of hand-counting pierces and guessing sheet count. PrixCut reads cut length and pierce count from the file, runs true-shape nesting, and exports a priced PDF quote on paid plans — one workflow, no sales call.
