Nestor demo videos: free nesting software at work

Four short videos, silent with captions, each showing one of Nestor's free tools from start to finish: cut shape nesting of DXF parts for laser, plasma, waterjet and router; shear nesting of a cut list for sheet; linear nesting of lengths from bar, tube and pipe; and the DXF generator for standard shapes. Each is under two minutes, recorded from Nestor itself.
