How do I both nest & layer multiple parts in Q-CAD CAM?

Post by AdvancedIronBoi » Thu Oct 15, 2020 4:25 pm

Hi,


I am trying to nest a bunch of parts & layer them simultaneously. Can I do that with Q-CAD CAM? Can nesting even be done in this software?
Would appreciate any kind of tips or tricks, thank you!

Please elaborate about what you mean by "layer them".

For nesting in general, please refer to our nesting tutorial at:

By layer, I mean separate the parts into different layers for laser cutting. For example, layer 1 will be cutting holes, layer 2 would be cutting outline of the part.
