ProNest Reviews

“Great software, so much better than the software that actually came with my CNC machine

Pros

The nesting feature allows for easy editing of lead-ins and lead-outs.

Cons

I am unsure if I am fond of the CAD software that I mostly use or this one. It could be because I am more accustomed to my current CAD software. The cool thing is that I have the option to use either.

“ProNest Review

Pros

As per my experience, the software is not only reasonably priced but it also boosts your productivity.

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about this software. However what I liked least is that I didn't have the opportunity to use it a year ago.

“Review

Pros

Automating the file list significantly sped up the process of compiling and creating nests.

Cons

Setting up and testing the automated lists took some time.

“Pro Nest in education

Pros

The software offers a wide range of features and has practical applications in the real world.

Cons

There are moments when it can get complicated. There are numerous steps involved in reaching the end point of your cut job. Occasionally, there may be ghost cuts or discrepancies between the CAD drawing and the cutter, although this seems to be rare.

“Great Product

Pros

Personally, I found ProNest LT to be extremely user-friendly and easy to learn. It has improved our production while reducing programming time.

Cons

The Part Sources section, where DXF files are added, is slightly cumbersome to use.

“Pronest

Pros

The customer support provided is exceptional, and I am excited to continue using it in the future.

Cons

It took me a little while to become accustomed to using it.

“Cutting Edge Software

Pros

I am amazed by the multitude of functions it offers which makes even the most challenging tasks easily manageable. While it may have more features than required for some users but they are available. Also it allows me to seamlessly integrate it with a Design2fab program.

Cons

In my opinion, there aren't many features that require significant improvement, if any. It usually just involves a bit of alteration what's already there to achieve the desired result. Updates generally bring improvements and refine any issues.

“User Friendly

Pros

It is incredibly user-friendly, especially for students who can use it easily and without any problems.

Cons

To be honest there isn't much that I dislike about it.

“Good Nesting Software

Pros

The software is easy to use and have advanced features of our HPR plasma system, such as True Hole, Fine Feature and SureCut. The customer support team performance, as expected from all Hypertherm products, is top-notch. The tech support even assisted me in creating custom report templates for our labels.

Cons

The software offers modules for certain features that are standard in other software, but they come at an additional cost and increase the yearly maintenance fee. These features include advanced plasma (specifically for their own plasma systems), autonesting, skeleton cut-up, common line cutting and so on.
