FAQ
Questions before you sign up
Short answers to the things people ask most.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
The free plan is free forever — no credit card, no trial period. You can upload DXF/SVG files and run nesting jobs right away. The free plan has a monthly job limit. If you need unlimited jobs, Pro is $49/month.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts. Downgrade to free or cancel Pro at any time. No cancellation fee, no lock-in.
Will it work with my DXF files?
Almost certainly. Lapas reads DXF files from AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, FreeCAD, and all standard CAD tools. It handles LWPOLYLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, SPLINE, and nested INSERT/BLOCK entities. SVG is also supported.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Lapas runs in your browser. No download, no IT. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and shop-floor tablets.
How much material will I save?
Most shops see 15–30% better utilization vs. manual nesting. Typical results vary by job type and current method. Try the ROI calculator above to estimate your savings.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Files are processed securely and never shared. Delete them any time. All data transfer uses encrypted HTTPS.
What machines does it work with?
Compatible with most CNC cutters: fiber/CO₂/diode lasers, plasma, waterjet, CNC routers, knife cutters. Export your nested layout as DXF — compatible with virtually all CAM software and controllers.
How is it different from Deepnest?
Deepnest is a free desktop tool that hasn't been updated since 2021. Lapas is browser-based, actively maintained, handles DXF natively, has live preview, and exports to DXF and PDF — with real human support.
