Surface unfolding and nesting software (ideally integrated with Solidworks)?

Hello

We are looking for a plug-in or software, allowing you to unfold a surface, then nesting for a laser cut. We tried ExactFlat Pro which responds very well to this problem, but with a significant cost. Otherwise, standard ExactFlat can do the trick, but does not allow nesting. I would add that we need to do a nesting by considering a sense of fiber for each pattern.

Do you have any solutions to propose?

Thank you and have a good day

hello @ a.escoffier

ExactFlat Pro is the right solution to your problem

and maybe the only one (to do with the other answers)

which certainly has a certain price

Thank you for your answer,

If I only use standard Exactflat to output DXF surface unfolds with the marked fiber directions, do you know of any software or plug-in that will allow me to do the nesting taking into account the orientation of the fiber?

Thanks again

Hello

There is also Logopress, I only know the redesign module, and it dates back a few years.
