Most nesting software is designed for a human operator sitting at a desktop computer. NestClass is designed for your production system to call directly.
Traditional nesting tools like SigmaNEST, ProNest, and Nest&Cut are powerful — but they're islands. An operator has to manually import parts, run the nesting, export results, and enter data into the production system. That workflow breaks when you need to process hundreds of jobs per day, generate instant quotes, or run nesting as part of an automated pipeline.
With NestClass, your systems talk to our engine directly. Your quoting software sends part lists and gets back material requirements and utilization estimates. Your MES sends cut jobs and gets back placement coordinates. Your ERP tracks material usage in real time. No human operator required for routine nesting — they focus on complex jobs that need judgment.
We're the only nesting solution built API-first. Not "we added an API to our desktop tool" — the API IS the product. JSON in, coordinates out. Standard REST conventions. Works with any language, any framework, any system that can make HTTP requests.
