Setting up cuts manually can be tedious. ProNest 8 automates the placement of lead-ins and lead-outs. It intelligently places these entry and exit points to ensure piercing happens on scrap material rather than on the finished part surface, preventing defects and ensuring high edge quality.
ProNest is designed to automate the programming of CNC cutting machines (such as plasma, laser, waterjet, and oxy-fuel). The primary goal of the software is material optimization—arranging parts on a sheet of metal in a way that minimizes waste (scrap) and maximizes cutting efficiency.
While newer versions (such as ProNest 12 and ProNest LT) exist, ProNest 8 remained an industry standard for many years due to its stability and robust feature set. pronest 8

Shop floor management requires data. ProNest 8 generates detailed reports automatically, including:
Unlike rectangular nesting (which places bounding boxes around parts), TrueShape nesting in ProNest 8 recognizes the actual geometry of the part. This allows the software to slide smaller parts into the waste areas of larger parts (interlocking), maximizing sheet usage.
