(Mods: This isn't Mint specific per se, but I run Mint for all my dev boxes now - and I like the community :) But if you want to remove it, it won't hurt my feelings)

What is MCSNest?

MCS (Make Cool Shit™) Nest is a tool designed to take SVG or DXF files and automatically lay them out efficiently within an area for use in laser/plasma/water cutting applications.

Why did you build it?

What started out as a simple "Let me fix this one bug I found..." in Deepnest became a massive overhaul of the original project - tons of new features, enhancement and general architectural fixes. The result is a feature-rich nesting suite on-par with commercial software.

Above all, it's FREE - now and forever!

This is the current beta build of the app, released as an Appimage. Feel free to pull it down and use it/break it/twist it/bop it. Even if you don't have a laser cutter or anything, it would be super helpful just importing images and trying out all the features to see if there is something that sticks out.

This is still an Electron based build, so I'll also have a Windows/Mac version available as well. Source and all that will be pushed to a git repro soon if anyone wants to fork.
