What's new in Lapas
What changed, what it saves you at the machine, and how it works. One release a month, newest first.
Latest
Version 2.0 Released 19–24 Sep 2026
Common-line cutting and kerf, done properly
Set your machine up once, cut the shared line once, set the kerf once, hear about slots too narrow for the beam before you nest, and have every G-code and PLT program checked against your parts and your machine before you download it.
- Common-line cutting. Real shared edges cut once. Every other gap keeps full spacing.
- Kerf, set once. On the job, or from a chart per material and thickness.
- My machines. Set up once, step by step. The machine sets spacing, holds and kerf.
- Narrow-feature warnings. Slots too narrow for the beam flagged before you nest.
- Every program checked. G-code and PLT replayed against the parts before download.
- Machine-rules check. Every G-code and PLT file read back against the rules of the machine it was written for.
- Pierces, leads, micro-joints. Pierces kept off part edges, and micro-joints to hold parts.
- Cut-order preview. The order the program will run, with a legend.
- Public API. One request from your ERP or quoting tool, now from $0.05 a nest.
Every release
From launch to today
Lapas ships to production many times a month. Each release collects one month of it. The release version is separate from the engine build ("Lapas Core 1.1.x") shown on a result.
- 2.0 19–24 Sep 2026 Common-line cutting and kerf, done properly Set your machine up once, cut the shared line once, set the kerf once, hear about slots too narrow for the beam before you nest, and have every G-code and PLT program checked against your parts and your machine before you download it.
- 1.5 1–18 Sep 2026 More file formats, and offcuts in their real shape Open DWG, PDF, Illustrator and LightBurn files, keep the real shape of every offcut and nest onto it, fix a part that does not fit in one click, and cut a part in a bore before the bore.
- 1.4 August 2026 Fewer sheets, diagonal parts and kits Repeated parts pack onto fewer sheets, long parts that only fit at an angle now nest, kits stay whole on one sheet, and a short result tells you what is missing with a one-click fix.
- 1.3 July 2026 Fine-tune the nest, keep the real curves Adjust a finished nest by hand with exact moves, measuring and snapping, pack curved parts into each other, lose half-empty last sheets, and get DXF files that keep your real arcs and layers.
- 1.2 June 2026 Your stock, your angles, your layers Nest one job across several sheet sizes, allow your own rotation angles, and sort cut and engrave layers with rules saved on your account.
- 1.1 May 2026 Clearer results, safer imports A warning before the run when a part will not fit the sheet, inch files at the right size, every layout checked before you get it, and a Fast to Quality speed slider.
- 1.0 Feb–Apr 2026 Lapas launches: true-shape nesting in the browser Upload DXF or SVG parts, watch them nest live by their real outline with small parts inside holes, and take the layout out as DXF, SVG, PLT, G-code or a PDF report.
Don't take our word for it.
Upload one of your own DXF files and see the layout yourself. It's free and takes about two minutes.
