Why sheet yield matters
Most laser and CNC jobs are quoted per part but bought per sheet. If you fit 18 parts instead of 14 on the same sheet, your material cost per part drops by more than 20% — without changing anything else.
This calculator uses a straight-line nesting estimate with the spacing gap (the distance you keep between parts, usually the kerf plus a safety margin). It checks both orientations and keeps the better one.
Limits of the estimate
This is a rectangular estimate, so real nested layouts can fit a few more parts when shapes interlock. Use the result as a fast, conservative baseline — not as a replacement for your nesting software when the job is large.
