Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! I look forward to trying this as I have had various projects where this would have saved me so much time and materials.
I tried to use Deepnest, but it is so slow that after a few minutes still nothing appear. I don't know if it's because my SVG file is too complex or that there is some bugs in the program.
Great suggestion! I would imagine that is part of the internal metrics used for selecting the best nest. It would be cool percentage used right beside laser time saved.
How do you it if you have different layers in your svg then send it to deepnest and bring it back without losing your layers? Cut layers or engrave layers?
I keep trying over and over but when I Start Nest I end up with the next screen and Stop Next with a spinning bubble next to it....no movement towards nesting the items. Any ideas?
At this time I don't believe so, that's the main drawback of using nesting software like this, so you either need to reapply them after or export the different steps individually where possible.
I had so great hopes for this software, but honestly im disappointed from the outcome result. I've tried nesting with relatively simple shapes and also complex ones - in both case scenario i was able to optimize the material and cutting time 2x better, for just a little more time than deepnest itself. Tried all possible settings in different logical combinations as well - did not get any significant better results. I've noticed that the program doesn't recognize repeating shapes very well - it just drops them randomly on the sheet instead using their edges to join them. Overall for me, it didn't save cutting time or material at all.
I manually added .DXF to the output file, and it opened up in eDrawings just fine. However, even though the DXF export units were set to mm, the dimensions in the exported file were inches (i.e., a piece I knew was 590x220mm saved as 14986x5588mm, which is 590x220 inches), so there seems to be some scaling ignored or not implemented somewhere.
So what will it do if your items have a combination of different actions (some cut lines, some engrave lines, some score lines)? When you import it into deepnest will it keep those as is or assume that everything are cut lines?
Deepnest unfortunately will not keep those elements (like different colors) - it will turn everything to a cut line, and some objects break apart. In those cases I just arrange by eye. Sometimes I find I'm better than Deepnest when it's not a ton of elements.
@@Rawz33 I don't remember what exactly I did but i think it was the way I was saving the dxf. You also have to upload the nested file into an already open fusion file if you want to make any changes or it will automatically set it to mm and won't convert to the right size
I was looking for videos on an area in Hollow Knight, but this laser cutting software is pretty cool. Nice tutorial.
Panthera You explained it very clear , thank you from Muslim in Saudi Arabia

This was excellent. Thank you so much!
Nice tutorial, straight and to the point, thanks for sharing.
Super helpfull also for my SketchUp to CNC workflow, thanks for taking the time!

So helpful! Thank you!
This was so helpful, thank you! I
So helpful!!! Thank you
can it work grid-based? how to do this? thx
friend thanks for the explanation... I have a question... to export the file in DXF how should I name the file? .. Thank you
It keeps placing my items on top of each other for some reason, could you please help me resolve this?
This excites me! I have been looking for an affordable solution for my swimwear production. Now only an affordable laser cutter for spandex
Thank you for your video. Is it possible to see what percentage of sheet is used? I can not find that.
Great suggestion! I would imagine that is part of the internal metrics used for selecting the best nest.
It would be cool percentage used right beside laser time saved.
is there a way to use cm or mm instead of inches?
There is
Thanks for the video.
Hi, Even i have installed Deepnest sofware, but the final output changes the sizes, smaller than the actual sizes, can you pls guide.
I EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION TOO, I MULTIPLYED IT BY 1.35 AND THE Aspect Ratio BUT BUT SATISFIED.
Thanks a lot it worked with 1:38@@bilalkaraboga8417

I don't think that's possible unless you do each layer separately.

Como faço para aliminar as multipontos quando exporto?
After exporting the file after nesting, the color of outline changes to default (black). is there any way to retain the outline color?
At this time I don't believe so, that's the main drawback of using nesting software like this, so you either need to reapply them after or export the different steps individually where possible.
@@PantheraPress Thank you for replying.
Thank you so much :)
the program doesn't work anymore. Do u have anything to use instead? it will help lots thx
Oh no! At the moment I do not have an alternative. Hopefully, a future update of the program will fix it for you.
@@PantheraPress 👍🏻👍🏻

Does not work on Windows 11 or with CDR (Corel Draw 2020).
Thanks！
I think it doesn´t work wiuth Windows? The save fuction showes no format?
I do not have a windows machines so I cannot say in this case.

Are you an affiliate marketer for GF?
Nothing I import is scaled appropriately. A 6 inch tall object is imported to deepnest at 2.3 inches
I have not had this issue. That is something I would reach out to them to ask as it could be a bug or simply the program you're using.
i also had this issue. if file is imported in .dxf file, there is scalling proble. ig done in .svg format, there is no issue.
Кореловские файлы не переваривает ,дхф тоже ругается, свг 1 из 10 кушает . Печалька
to bad this program only overlaps all my parts
I have this same problem on windows 10. Small objects are inside bigger ones :(
Why the hell does this happen and how do I fix it?

Takes forever though
