Shape Nesting Software?

[prepressdork]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for software that can nest shapes that would be cut on a Zund type cutter. For example:



I would prefer a plugin for Illustrator or Acrobat. I am aware of apps like Tilia, Metrix, etc. but they are too expensive for my needs. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
pd

Hi Gianni_S,

I have a trial of it and have started tinkering with it. Do you use it?

Best regards,

I would look at Griffin. Which is Tillia, now enfocus.
Sure it's expensive but because it can output .ZCC files, you can add camera marks where you and so much more.
