Hi, I'm Jarkko, the developer of PSLNest. I'm looking for a few people to try the Windows beta and help me improve it.
The app takes DXF drawings of flat parts and arranges them on sheets for cutting. It exports DXF layouts and PDF production reports; you use your usual CAM software to create the cutting toolpaths. The nesting calculation runs on your own computer.
It supports irregular shapes, different sheet sizes, materials and thicknesses, manual layout editing, reusable offcuts and large repeat orders. Optional filler parts can use leftover space without opening extra sheets. The interface and PDF reports support millimetres and inches.
It's an early project, and packing quality, speed and usability are still being improved. My goal is affordable, practical software.
For a first test, trying one existing DXF job is enough. I'd particularly like to know:
– Was downloading, starting and activating it straightforward?
– Could you import parts, set quantities and sheet sizes, and run a nesting job without getting stuck?
– Were manual editing and exporting easy to understand?
– Did you find crashes, import errors, obvious gaps or unnecessary sheets?
Screenshots and steps to reproduce a problem help a lot. Sharing DXF files or saved jobs is optional; please only share files you have permission to share, and keep confidential drawings out of public comments. Constructive feedback will guide changes and new features.
The trial is free for 30 days from activation, on up to two computers. It needs 64-bit Windows 10 or later; English and Finnish are available.

Direct Windows ZIP (0.9.8): https://updates.pslnest.com/packages/PSLNest-Beta-0.9.8.zip
Activation currently requires a personal invitation code, available from me at support@pslnest.com. Downloading the ZIP alone does not activate the trial.

You can send feedback and read my replies in Info → Feedback and support inside the app. Optional attachments currently have a 1 MiB total limit per report; contact me first about larger examples. Optional usage tracking is off by default. Check exported layouts in CAM before cutting while this is still a beta.
