## Reviews

### "Every Sigmanest product I have used has been excellent" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *09 November 2017* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've used Sigmanest on 2 separate machines, a plate processor and a tube laser. Both have been fantastic. They allow me to design directly in the software or import multiple types of CNC files. The customer support is great. They have been able to get me through every issue I have ever called about within a matter of minutes.
> 
> **Cons**: The designing inside of the software itself is lacking. Both softwares I have used worked better as a back-end software. I would use some other sort of modeling software and Sigmanest was incorporated as the output/conversion software. It did that job very will with very, very few issues. Just wish there were more design options within the software itself
> 
> Sigmanest has helped me at different jobs and on different machines. It has increased the overall speed and productivity of the shop. The programming takes minutes at most. It's nesting capabilities are top notch. Easily one of the best I've ever seen.
