The CAM software that came with the 4wK laser I use at work had an amazing nesting algorithm, but was otherwise entirely unsuited to our needs.

SigmaTech make SigmaNest which, as of version 1.7, I feel confident in highly recommending.

And they’ve put on an additional team member for tech support in my region and I can now confidently praise that aspect of their business too.




We used alphacam for our routers, but my boss was delaying paying for another alphacam license for as long as possible. It was nearly $10k per license or something.


Similar price rang for SigmaNest for the features we use, ongoing maintenance is under AUD$5k per year which we’re happy with.

I’ll have a look at Alphacam.
