Staged development
Capabilities are developed in stages, and their status should reflect the actual state of implementation.
About
About LamiNest
LamiNest Cut is being built as a practical CAD/CAM environment for 2D production preparation.
Why LamiNest is being developed
LamiNest is being built as a practical CAD/CAM environment for sheet-metal businesses and CNC cutting. It aims to support the path from 2D part geometry through DXF and arranging parts on a sheet (nesting) to cutting-process preparation.
The project is intended for workshop owners, production-preparation staff and CNC operators who work with 2D drawings and DXF documentation.
Units, scale, contour closure and duplicates in a DXF affect whether geometry is ready for downstream work. Nesting must account for sheet boundaries and spacing, while cutting preparation also depends on process parameters. These are project aims, not claims of measured savings or production readiness.
Work proceeds in stages: stabilizing 2D CAD foundations, improving DXF exchange, developing and validating nesting, continuing CAM work, and practical testing and stabilization. Not all capabilities are available; their status is described separately.
Development and testing principles
These are principles the project aims to follow. They do not mean that every procedure described here is already fully implemented.
Geometry checks
Units, contour closure, duplicates, intersections and other issues need review before further processing. Not every case is automatically detected today.
Regression testing
Changes should be checked for their impact on features that already worked.
Practical testing
Sample files and real use cases help assess behaviour. Machine testing should follow appropriate checks and take place in safe conditions.
Honest status
Experimental capabilities should not be presented as production-ready.
User feedback
Reports can help set priorities and identify issues, but do not guarantee a fix date or feature implementation.
Feature status
The following overview reflects the supplied current product status. Limited, experimental and planned capabilities are not production-ready claims.
2D CAD
Basic document model and geometry; the editor and tools are in development.
DXF
Import and export of selected entities, with file-dependent limits.
Nesting
A limited envelope-based MVP; True-Shape is experimental.
CAM
Configuration and selected operations are partial; the full workflow is unfinished.
Production
The production module remains planned.
Quoting
Basic quoting and an advanced module remain planned work.
Report a bug or share feedback
The website does not currently provide a confirmed channel for bug reports or an email address for this purpose. The interest-list form is only for product updates.
When a feedback channel is available, useful details will include:
- report type: bug, DXF or geometry issue, feature suggestion, or general feedback;
- application version and operating system, if known;
- a short description and steps to reproduce the issue;
- the expected and actual result;
- an optional sample file or screenshot and an email address for a reply.
A report will not guarantee a fix date or implementation of a suggestion. Remove confidential information from any file before sharing it.
