Optimize fabrication with smart nesting
Custom parts, mixed machines and tight quotes leave no room for guesswork. ShopData 360 automates cutting sequences, maximizes material use and connects the floor to the office.
Nesting & cutting
One workflow for every table
QuickCAM PRO true-shape nests across laser, plasma, water jet and oxy-fuel, then drives the cut — advanced algorithms optimize each layout for cost savings and dynamic toolpaths keep the machines moving.
- Automated nesting algorithms that maximize yield
- Dynamic toolpath creation for CNC machines
- Works across laser, plasma, water jet and oxy-fuel
- MRP integration with your existing systems
Design & import
From hand-drawn to cut path
Bring in any drawing or turn artwork and hand-drawn designs into production-ready cut paths with the Art & Design raster-to-vector tools — nothing gets re-drawn from scratch.
- DXF, DWG and DSTV import plus a built-in CAD module
- Raster-to-vector conversion for scanned art and sketches
- Multi-user server version available

Frequently asked questions
What machines does it support?
Plasma, laser, water jet and oxy-fuel — plus HVAC duct and structural plate. ShopData 360 works with more machine types than any competitor.
Can I import my existing drawings?
Yes. Import DXF, DWG and DSTV files, or draw in the built-in CAD module. A library of pre-programmed shapes gets common parts started fast.
Does it connect to our shop management system?
Yes — the CAD-CAM side integrates with Visual EstiTrack and Visual Books through MRP, so estimates, jobs and costs move without re-keying.
