Nesting that continues from the cutlist
Sheet nesting only helps if the panels are the ones you designed. In FMOS, nesting starts from the released manufacturing package — the same panels that appear on the cutlist — so you are not rebuilding a board layout from a disconnected CSV.
What FMOS nesting does today
- Arrange released panels on sheets
- Respect grain so rotation is held when the panel requires it
- Keep CNC nesting gap and saw kerf as separate measurements on the machine profile
- Review the nest, re-optimize the job, and export a sheet-plan PDF
- Print panel labels from the nesting job, with an identifier you can paste back to look up the panel
Teams that already post files to a router can also generate DXF and G-code from a nesting job for downstream machine workflows.
Where nesting sits in the workflow
Project → configure → validate → cutlist → nest → BOM / BOQ / quotation. Manufacturing rules and blocking issues are cleared before the package is released, so nesting works on panels the shop has accepted.
Frequently asked questions
Does FMOS support sheet nesting?
Yes. Released panels can be nested on sheets with grain limits, separate nesting gap and saw kerf, review and re-optimize, and a sheet-plan PDF export.
Can I print panel labels?
Yes. Labels print from the nesting job and include an identifier for panel lookup.
