Nesting. for router cutter

[Brian Campbell]

What do you guys recommend for nesting software for router cutting? We recently added a Zund cutter and cut a ton of acrylic letters for signage. The Zund nesting is just an obscene price. Is there a plug in for Adobe illustrator? or something along those lines that is a reasonable price?

Should contact Grafitroniks directly for the prep-center. It's great for nesting and adding registration marks if you ever print/cut.

Aspire has a decent nesting and is reasonable for what it does.

This is what I use. It costs about $2000, but if you strictly want the nesting feature, you can get Vectric's Cut2D Pro for about $450. Aspire includes 3d modeling features and associated toolpath generation.
