Prepare
The integration exports the part contours, stock and job rules into a JSON input.
THE ENGINE BEHIND THE WORKSPACE
One engine.
A world of parts.
CLI-Nesting is the separate command-line engine that searches for sheet layouts. The workbench prepares the contours and job options, then brings the result back into your CAD document.
Platform-specific release downloads are available on GitHub.

Search

Review

Start with the workbench.
Keep the engine close.
The FreeCAD integration offers to download the engine on first use. You can also obtain platform-specific binaries from the GitHub releases page. CLI-Nesting can be used directly with its JSON job protocol; consult its repository for current command-line instructions.
