Workflow to arrange cuts on workpiece?

CAD/CAM Software Tips
1

I have been using onshape → krabzCAM → maslow.

One thing I don’t like about this workflow is arranging my cuts (as svg/dxf) in krabzCAM can be tedious. Often I’m looking to pack in multiple cuts in a constrained area. Doing this manually feels like a jig-saw puzzle with no good solution.

I’m used to my 3d printing workflow where I can simply press “arrange on bed”, and the software auto rotates and places my various objects. Does such a thing exist in the CAM world? If so, any recommendations?

I have no experience with this nesting software but it’s open source:
