From 3D file to quote: a matter of moments.
Calculate material and processing costs from a 3D assembly, from cutting to bending and secondary operations. Libellula.QUOTATION simplifies quoting with part recognition and flattening of bent components.
Quoting with cost control
- 3D assembly import with individual part recognition
- Automatic flattening of bent parts
- Cutting and bending times and costs using technology tables
- Sheet metal stock, prices and constraints
- Secondary processing and customizations
- Multi-device cloud SaaS platform
Libellula.QUOTATION is developed by Libellula and available in North America through NestSoft.
Libellula.
The digital bridge between planning and production.
Libellula.WIZARD combines a touch-friendly interface with step-by-step drawing import, nesting and cutting. It connects office planning with shop-floor needs and can be used directly on the machine CNC.
Programming close to production
- Laser, plasma, oxy-fuel and waterjet programming
- Guided drawing import, nesting and cutting
- On-board use directly on the CNC
- Job status, instructions and progress tracking
- Quality checks, notes and photo documentation
- Traceability and reporting
Libellula.WIZARD is developed by Libellula and available in North America through NestSoft.
Libellula.
2D cutting. Optimized nesting. Operator control.
Program sheet metal cutting with an integrated CAD/CAM system for laser, plasma, oxy-fuel and waterjet. Import 2D geometry or extract flat parts from 3D assemblies, then choose automatic, semi-automatic or system-assisted manual nesting.
Technology-specific algorithms and machine tables support cutting parameters and programming for stand-alone machines and automated production lines.
From geometry to cutting
- Automatic, semi-automatic and assisted manual nesting
- Alternative nesting solutions for the operator to choose
- Technology-specific cutting algorithms and machine tables
- 3D cutting-sequence simulation
- 2D import and flat-geometry extraction from 3D assemblies
- Programming aligned with loading, unloading and picking automation
Optimization, not machine learning
- NeXting uses optimization algorithms, not machine learning.
- Connect ERP, MRP and MES systems through mod.BRIDGE.
- Keep control of the nesting mode and the final production program.
Libellula.CUT is developed by Libellula and available in North America through NestSoft.
Libellula.
Tube and profile cutting, simple and precise.
Design, simulate, optimize and program tube and profile cutting in one CAD/CAM environment. Import STEP and IGES models, extract components from assemblies or use parametric CAD to prepare custom tubes.

Precise unloading, guided by color.
Identify and sort cut parts with a simple, shop-floor interface. Color coding and customizable filters make parts easier to recognize, while connections with CUT, VISIO and mod.ORDER keep job progress coordinated.
- Color-coded parts for unloading
- Filters by job, customer, icon code and processing cycle
- Quality checks with routing to the rework cycle
- Job updates as unloading is completed
- QR-code order lookup
