How Lapas helps your operation
Mixed-part nesting
Nest dozens of different part shapes in a single job. Set exact quantities for each part number.
Remnant tracking
Lapas keeps your plate stock and remnants in their real shape, and suggests the remnants that fit when you set up a job.
Scrap minimization
Our optimizer targets 85–95% utilization on typical sheet metal jobs; results vary by part complexity. Typical manual nesting achieves 62–72%.
Custom sheet sizes
Works with any sheet size - standard 2500×1250mm to custom oversized or undersized off-cuts.
PDF quote support
PDF export includes sheet count, total material area, utilization % - useful for quoting material cost to customers.
All materials
Steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, galvanized iron, titanium - any flat sheet material.
Specifically built for this workflow
- Import your complete part list as DXF files from SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, or Inventor
- Set quantities per part - Lapas handles mixed-part jobs automatically
- Multi-sheet output: automatically calculates minimum sheets required for the full order
- PDF report for quoting: shows sheet count, utilization, and part placement overview
- Export to DXF for your CAM software - clean, layered output compatible with all CAM tools
- Browser-based: estimators quote from their desk, operators nest on the shop floor - same tool
