RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Panel Layout Software

Thanks for the responses that I have gotten... I have looked
under 'nesting' and other similar terms. Although I have found
lots of commercial software(addons, etc), I was looking for
something free(no or low cost) even if it was constrained. ie
2d, no colors, no accounting for kerf etc.

thanks

don

I can't direct you to a particular program, but these programs are
know as 'nesting' programs. You might have better luck looking
under that term.
