Capabilities

Built for production, not prototypes.

Every algorithm is purpose-built for real-world manufacturing constraints — grain direction, tool paths, minimum gaps, and material waste targets.

🧠
ML Algorithm Selection
Our trained model analyses your parts and selects the optimal algorithm automatically. No manual tuning required.
Sub-5-Second Layouts
From file upload to optimised layout in seconds. Production-ready speeds that keep your workflow moving.
🔍
Explainable AI
Understand every decision. See why parts were placed where they are, with full transparency into the optimisation process.
📐
DXF, PDF & SVG Support
Import industry-standard file formats with intelligent outline detection and automatic part recognition.
🔒
Locked Part Placement
Manually place critical parts, lock them in position, then let the AI optimise the remaining space around your constraints.
📊
Waste Analytics
Track material usage across jobs. Identify savings opportunities and monitor waste reduction over time.

Upload. Optimise. Cut.

Three steps from file to factory floor. No complexity, no steep learning curve.

1
Upload your parts
Drag and drop your DXF, PDF, or SVG files. Our parser extracts part outlines automatically with ML-powered path classification.
2
AI optimises layout
Magpie's ML model selects the best algorithm for your specific parts. Lock critical placements, set constraints, and let the AI handle the rest.
3
Export & cut
Download production-ready layouts with full nesting reports. Export directly to your cutting equipment with tool path data included.

The brain behind the nest.

Magpie AI doesn't just run one algorithm — it learns which approach works best for your specific parts, materials, and constraints.

01

Multi-Algorithm Engine

NFP, genetic, guillotine, tournament, and interlocking strategies — each tuned for different part geometries.

02

Trained ML Selector

A Random Forest classifier analyses part complexity, count, and geometry to predict the optimal algorithm before nesting begins.

03

Continuous Learning

Every job teaches the system. Performance data feeds back to refine algorithm selection for future layouts.
