Workshop notes: cutting optimization, offcuts, sheet metal unfolding.
-
Unfolding: a clear message when it cannot succeed
A STEP file saved again from your CAD no longer blocks the unfold, and a file without thickness is clearly reported where you work.
-
Refer a colleague: 15 days of Pro each
Invite a colleague by email, link or QR code: after their first export or unfold, you each get 15 days of Pro.
-
Your feedback, one click away
A “Feedback” tab at the edge of the screen to write to us at any time, and a short question after an export, which one click turns off.
-
One DXF, several parts, and a cloud save that warns you
A DXF holding several contours now splits into parts to nest, and a project the cloud refuses to keep is finally flagged.
-
Standard sheet sizes, tilted parts unfolded straight
Nesting can start from commercial sheet sizes, bar nesting offers one standard bar per profile, and tilted parts now unfold straight.
-
Part sheet and 3D view on click, lists filled from the keyboard
Clicking a part in the cutting plan opens its sheet and 3D view; cut parts, stock bars and blanks can now be entered from the keyboard.
-
A clearer cutting plan in bar nesting
Bar nesting now shows a clearer cutting plan: one summary, an illustrated legend, zoom with a fixed ruler and hidden edges at the cuts.
-
Part labels with QR codes in bar nesting
Print one label per piece to cut, with part mark, length, cuts and a QR code any phone can read, on A4 label sheets or on a roll.
-
“Give feedback”: send us your comments from inside the app
A “Give feedback” link and, if you opt in, one question after an export or a successful unfolding, at most once a week.

New interface, and Sheet metal 2D becomes 2D nesting
New logo, navigation rail, collapsible panels: the app gets a new look, and Sheet metal 2D becomes 2D nesting, for sheets, panels and plates.
