    SVGnest - a 100% free, open-source nesting program

    Hi guys

    it's been a while since I've been back here. I remember when I built my first CNC, the guidance from the awesome people at CNCZone was invaluable.

    so here's a present for you, something I wrote in the past few weeks: SVGnest - Open source vector nesting for CNC machines, lasers and plasma cutters

    nesting software is pretty expensive and up till now there hasn't been a free and open source alternative. Well now there is!
    Catch is that being a web-app it can't process DXF files, so you'll have to convert to SVG

    check it out and let me know if you run into any issues.

    if you're interested in the technical bits behind the implementation, here's a link to the github: https://github.com/Jack000/SVGnest

    That is amazing. Any chance of a standalone program in the future?
