Contour cutting (nesting) for CNC

Shaped parts and holes for a router, laser, plasma or waterjet. Import your drawings and Castoro recognizes the contours, nests the parts on sheets and keeps usable offcuts for the next job.

Import DXF, DWG or a ZIP of drawings; you choose the cut and marking layers
Rotation, mirroring and priority per part, plus part spacing and sheet margin
Shared edges of neighboring parts can be cut once
Offcuts are kept as contours and go back into the project sheets; a sheet can come from DXF too
Results in DXF and DWG for the machine, plus SVG, PNG, PDF, Excel and a share link

Contour cutting is free while it is in beta. Try it on your own drawings and tell us what is missing: your feedback decides what we build next.

What Castoro helps with

See how to cut

Get visual cut maps with parts, offcuts, and waste before material goes to the saw.

Reduce manual entry

Import part lists from Excel/CSV, paste from spreadsheets, or enter dimensions manually when the order is small.

Check the sequence

Play the cut order step by step and hand a clearer workflow to the operator.

Keep production details

Account for grain direction, edge banding, saw kerf, sheet margins, and export the result for the workshop.

What you can do in Castoro

Optimize cutting for chipboard, MDF, plywood, glass, metal, and other sheet materials
Nest shaped DXF and DWG parts on sheets for a router, laser, plasma or waterjet (contour cutting, beta)
