Design2Fab is a stand-alone Hypertherm application for those creating HVAC duct, mechanical, kitchen, industrial, roofing, and other specialty fitting layouts. Engineered to dramatically reduce the time it takes to develop and lay out flat patterns, Design2Fab provides you with the ability to create complex custom fitting layouts in minutes, not hours!
You’ll be able to output and print plot files (HPGL) for manual cutting or output a DXF to a CNC cutting machine. (DXF files can also be exported to ProNest®, TurboNest®, or NestMaster™ nesting software prior to cutting, allowing for optimal material utilization for jobs with multiple parts.)
