1DNest overview

What is 1DNest?

1DNest is an on-premises Windows desktop application (Windows 7 to 11 and Windows Server) that calculates and generates optimized cutting plans for linear materials such as pipes, bars, tubes, and profiles. Designed for manufacturers, fabricators, and distributors, 1DNest minimizes material waste by computing the most efficient cut combinations from available stock lengths. The software supports multiple material types and handles complex cutting lists with varying part lengths and quantities.

Beyond core cut optimization, 1DNest provides detailed reports and visual cutting diagrams that production teams can use directly on the shop floor. Users can configure stock lengths, define kerf widths, and set remnant thresholds to match real-world cutting conditions. The application operates entirely offline, making it suitable for production environments with restricted network access or strict data security requirements. Licences are paid once and do not expire, with no subscription and no cloud connection.
