Import your DXF parts, auto-nest them onto your foam block, control every cut line, and export clean g-code for your CNC hot-wire machine — running natively on your own computer.

Built for makers and shops running hot-wire and CNC foam cutters.
Trace shapes over an image or drawing with lines, arcs and splines — then clean them up into cut-ready profiles.
Load DXF drawings and turn them into editable, chained paths ready to nest and cut.
Generate machine-ready g-code with post-processors for Mach3/4, LinuxCNC, GRBL, UCCNC and more.
Add vertical, horizontal, chop and U-parting cuts with direction, lead-in/out and ordering.
Define stepped leftover blocks so nesting respects the exact shape of the foam you have.
Per-part kerf offsets with fixed edges keep your finished sizes accurate to the wire.
Everything for wire and foam cutting under a single tab bar.
Auto-nest all your parts onto the block with rotation, spacing and full cut-line control, then export g-code.
Trace easy profiles straight from a picture — drop in an image and draw cut-ready shapes over it.
Open and inspect DXF files, check chained paths and spot open ends before you cut.
