Almacam Cut, CAD/CAM nesting software for 2D cutting

Pilot all your cutting machines with the most efficient automated nesting software

With Almacam Cut, drive all your 2D cutting machines and accelerates programming stages, from part preparation to NC code generation. Combining the most advanced nesting algorithms along with automation, Almacam Cut minimizes material waste and increases your workshop efficiency.

More efficient and reliable machine control: manage all brands of 2D cutting machines regardless of the technology (laser, plasma, oxycutting, water jet) with an all-in-one CAM nesting solution.

Significant material savings: optimize material usage (metal, wood, polymer, leather…) through advanced nesting algorithms that we have been developing for 45 years.

Faster programming: one click to perform the complete workflow from part import through nesting up to the NC program generation.

Improved Quality and Safety: ensure optimized cutting paths, prevent heat concentration and minimize collision risks.

Streamlined Production Cycle: specialized modules for 3D import, unfolding, quoting and scheduling, and easy integration with external CAD and ERP/MES systems.

Discuss your project

“Orders that previously required manual nesting by an operator during their working hours now take up only about one-third of their time. With Almacam, we have achieved an estimated 50% time savings across all our plants. It has become the standard nesting solution for our entire group.”
