CNC nesting for sheet goods
A CNC router can cut anywhere on the sheet. Verneer takes advantage of that with free nesting of your parts, keeps tool spacing between them and exports each sheet as DXF for your CAM software.
Nesting or guillotine?
Table saws and panel saws can only make straight cuts edge to edge, so their plans must be guillotine layouts. A CNC has no such limit: parts can sit anywhere on the sheet, which usually means less waste.
In Verneer you choose the machine for each project. If your shop has both a saw and a CNC, compare both plans and pick the better one for that batch.
From plan to machine
Every sheet can be exported as DXF with the parts where the plan put them, ready for your CAM software. Parts get QR labels so nothing is mixed up at assembly.
Large offcuts are measured and kept in stock, and Verneer uses them first on the next job.
Built for CNC shops
- Free nesting with tool spacing between parts
- Grain respected on doors and fronts
- DXF export per sheet (Pro plan)
- QR labels for every part
- Offcut stock used first
- The same project also produces a guillotine plan for the saw
CNC nesting questions
Does Verneer replace my CAM software?
No. It nests the parts and exports each sheet as DXF. Toolpaths are still generated by the CAM software you already use.
Can I use one project for the saw and the CNC?
Yes. The parts list is the same; pick guillotine for the saw or free nesting for the CNC and compare the sheet count.
Does nesting respect grain direction?
Yes. Parts set to fixed grain never rotate; plain parts can rotate to fit better.
