NaaS – Nesting as a Service
NaaS delivers high-precision automatic nesting to production teams that need to squeeze every centimeter of value from their fabric inventory. Our service couples geometric reasoning with exhaustive optimisation so you can trust the layout regardless of fabric type, pattern complexity, or throughput demands.
Automatically generated layout demonstrating irregular shapes, blocked-out flaws, and matched stripes.
State-of-the-art nesting intelligence
Our solver evaluates millions of candidate nests across multiple bins simultaneously while respecting real-world production constraints. It natively supports irregular outlines, voids inside material, and pattern alignment rules so the final marker is production-ready without manual intervention.
- Distributes parts over many bins or rolls while preserving per-bin consumption targets.
- Accommodates arbitrary bin silhouettes, seam allowances, and exclusion zones.
- Respects internal holes, notches, and drill marks to avoid collisions on the cutter.
- Aligns pieces to checks, stripes, and repeating motifs with sub-millimeter tolerance.
- Balances brute-force exploration with heuristics to avoid getting stuck in local optima.
Why brute force still matters
Even modest jobs explode combinatorially: a nest with only 10 uniquely shaped pieces already has 3,628,800 placement orders before accounting for rotations, flips, or multi-bin assignments. We intentionally brute force the hard cases while pruning with fabrication-aware heuristics so the best layout always wins.

Deployment options
- Cloud: Spin up dedicated clusters per job with effectively limitless parallel combinations, shrinking nesting cycles from minutes to seconds.
- Hybrid: Keep data resident on-premise while bursting to the cloud for peak-volume optimisation campaigns.
- On-premise: Deploy within your plant for air-gapped environments and deterministic runtime budgets.
Ready to integrate
NaaS exposes asynchronous job management, webhook callbacks, and detailed analytics so engineering and operations teams see the same source of truth. Connect it to cutting lines, ERP, or direct-to-consumer workflows to unlock lights-out nesting.
