DG Nest has two modules: Regular nesting and Profiles nesting
"Regular nesting " is 2D nesting on rectangular and irregular sheet + export as dxf
"Profiles nesting" is linear nesting of profiles/beams layouts. Before nesting operator set all profiles parameters. Export as dxf or g-code. Extension to SheetCam's rotary pipe/plasma plugin.
Operator can nest parts, import nesting_result.dxf in SheetCam and make tool-paths / g-code. DGNest (CAD) has options which SheetCam (CAM) has not, in collaboration they are highly-efficient.
