01 / How It Works

From cut-list to cut file in three moves.

No installs, no dongles, no CAM degree. SmartKerf runs in any modern browser and speaks standard DXF.

  1. Step 01

    Upload DXF

    Drag and drop your cut-list into the browser. (Accepts flat 2D .DXF files).

    .DXF · Flat 2D cut-lists

  2. Step 02

    Lock the Grain

    Force 0° or 180° rotation to keep face frame and panel grain flowing consistently.

    Rotation: 0° / 180° only

  3. Step 03

    Download & Cut

    Our cloud engine calculates the tightest true-shape fit in under 60 seconds.

    Nest time: under 60 sec

02 / Core Engine

Nesting math built for wood, not sheet metal.

Generic nesters treat walnut like steel plate. SmartKerf is tuned for sheet goods, grain, and the offcuts stacked against your shop wall.

    True-Shape Algorithms

    No more bounding-box gaps. Parts nest by real outline, interlocking curves, arches, and irregular cuts.

    Remnant Squeezing

    Nest directly into irregular scrap wood. Upload an offcut outline once and fill it before pulling a fresh sheet.
