How Lapas helps your operation
Mixed-part nesting
Nest dozens of different part shapes in a single job. Set exact quantities for each part number.
Remnant tracking
Lapas maximizes the use of your existing remnant stock before cutting fresh sheets.
Scrap minimization
Our optimizer targets 85–95% utilization on typical sheet metal jobs; results vary by part complexity. Typical manual nesting achieves 62–72%.
Custom sheet sizes
Works with any sheet size - standard 2500×1250mm to custom oversized or undersized off-cuts.
PDF quote support
PDF export includes sheet count, total material area, utilization % - useful for quoting material cost to customers.
All materials
Steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, galvanized iron, titanium - any flat sheet material.
Specifically built for this workflow
- Import your complete part list as DXF files from SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, or Inventor
- Set quantities per part - Lapas handles mixed-part jobs automatically
- Multi-sheet output: automatically calculates minimum sheets required for the full order
- PDF report for quoting: shows sheet count, utilization, and part placement overview
- Export to DXF for your CAM software - clean, layered output compatible with all CAM tools
- Browser-based: estimators quote from their desk, operators nest on the shop floor - same tool
Don't take our word for it.
Upload one of your own DXF files and see the layout yourself. It's free and takes about two minutes.
