Free Online CNC Laser Cutting Quoting Software & 2D DXF Nesting Engine
SheetDXF is a high-speed in-browser CAD/CAM quoting and nesting platform for precision sheet metal job shops, estimators, and laser cutting fabricators. Drop customer 2D DXF files to automatically calculate linear cut inches, pierce count, machine run-time, sheet scrap yields, and generate professional Net 30 manufacturing estimates in under 10 seconds.
Core Manufacturing & Estimating Features
- Auto-Sanitizing DXF Parser: Parses AutoCAD ASCII DXF files, detects units (Inches / Millimeters), connects fragmented geometry, and classifies outer perimeters vs interior cutouts.
- Calibrated Fiber Laser Feed Rates: Calibrated cutting speeds (IPM) for 4kW, 6kW, 10kW, and 12kW fiber lasers across A36 Carbon Steel, 304/316 Stainless Steel, and 5052/6061 Aluminum.
- 2D Sheet Auto-Nesting: Efficient nesting algorithms pack single or multiple parts onto standard 4x8 ft (48x96 in), 5x10 ft (60x120 in), and custom sheet dimensions with offcut tracking.
- DFM Hole Blowout Detection: Identifies undersized holes where diameter is less than material thickness to prevent thermal blowout on thick plate.
- Trumpf, Amada & SigmaNEST CAM Ready: Exports clean CAD layers conforming to standard CAM conventions: CUT_OUTER, CUT_INNER, and MARK.
- Parametric Shape Drafter: Instant parametric CAD builder for baseplates, pipe flanges, gussets, brackets, and decorative panels without needing CAD software.
- Instant Net 30 Commercial PDF Quotes: One-click professional manufacturing quotation generation with itemized labor, material, piercing, and assist gas breakdown.
