Description
Parts are imported from CAD files of standard formats, PDF, OMX/ORD and raster images with vectorization, or created in the built-in 2D CAD. The program corrects CAD errors by itself, smooths splines, separates several parts from one file and maps layers to cutting and marking processes. Parts are nested on plates and remnants of any shape, and the control program is produced by a post-processor with extended NC output, also in DXF and OMX/ORD. Parameters are set by material, thickness, grade and class, while pre-piercing, preheat time for oxy-fuel cutting, micro-joints and avoidance of plate defects are built into the process tables. It is the only software with full SureCut support (True Hole, Rapid Part, PlateSaver, True Bevel), and according to the manufacturer, the special techniques cut total cutting time by up to 50%. Enterprise modules, Data Sync, Work Order Processing and Production Manager with browser access, add ERP/MRP integration and quote calculation. There are 3D modules and machine modules for bevelling, drilling, sheet machines and machines with plate regripping.
How to choose
The version is chosen by machine type and scale of production. LT is meant for conventional plasma, waterjet without bevel and oxy-fuel cutting, and the 2025 version is meant for heavy industry and enterprise solutions. Exchanging data with a production system requires enterprise modules and ERP/MRP integration. If tube cutting machines work in the shop, tubes are nested in Rotary Tube Pro, and duct patterns are prepared in Design2Fab.

FAQ
What are the system requirements of ProNest?
Windows 11 or 10 (64 bit), processor from 1.4 GHz (3 GHz recommended), 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended), 6 GB on disk and a display of at least 1024 × 768.
How do ProNest 2025 and ProNest LT differ?
The 2025 version is meant for heavy industry and enterprise solutions. LT is intended for light industry with conventional plasma, waterjet without bevel and oxy-fuel cutting.
Which file formats does ProNest import?
CAD files of standard formats, PDF, OMX/ORD and raster images with vectorization. Parts are also created in the built-in 2D CAD or the library of parametric parts.
By how much does ProNest cut cutting time?
According to the manufacturer, the special SureCut techniques cut total cutting time by up to 50%. The actual effect depends on the part and the nest.
