NestLoggic makes nesting software for packaging and print.
Magpie lays dielines onto sheets the way a converting shop does: a print layout of one cutter, a full sheet under one die, or a free nest for laser and router. It hands back layered cutter files, dimensioned guillotine cuts and a costed report.
The product
Magpie
Drop a DXF, CF2, PDF or SVG with every design in it. Set the sheet, the gap and the grain. Magpie places the blanks, says how many sheets the order needs, and exports a layered DXF your Kongsberg or Zund cuts as drawn.
- Print layout: one cutter repeated, pieces sized to it, every cut dimensioned.
- Packaging full sheet: the most on the sheet within the print bounds, one die.
- Free nest: gap and margins on any sheet material.
Who built it
Philip Hubbard spent seven years in structural packaging design and industrial cutting: Kongsberg tables, ArtiosCAD, sample rooms and production floors. Magpie is the nesting tool he wanted on those floors, built by NestLoggic in Malvern.
It speaks the language of the job: sheet size, board grain, grip, gap, quantities per blank, cut and crease. It never asks how it should nest. More about NestLoggic.
