Why we like it

ProCutter CNC earns its place in the superhive library by collapsing the export, nest, space, and sort routine into a single Export DXF click inside Blender.

What is Procutter Cnc?

ProCutter CNC turns a Blender model into CNC-ready DXF files without a detour through a separate CAD program. You model a furniture piece or any flat-pack part, select the objects you want cut, set your sheet size and tool thickness once, then click Export DXF. In a single pass the addon nests the parts, adds spacing for your bit width, splits the output by material where needed, and cleans up the geometry.

Nesting uses Best-Fit Decreasing Height packing, and kerf compensation spaces parts for your exact tool thickness. Output can split by material into one file per color or material, export across multiple sheets with custom dimensions, and use adjustable spacing between parts. DXF cleanup removes duplicate geometry, parts land on per-part named layers, and the addon supports object hierarchies and vertex-group-restricted export.

The resulting DXF files are compatible with ArtCAM, Aspire, VCarve, Fusion 360, and more. Everything runs from one panel in the Blender sidebar, with no extra software required. ProCutter CNC works with Blender 4.4 through 5.2 and is distributed under the MIT license.

Frequently asked questions

Does ProCutter CNC work with Blender 4.4?

ProCutter CNC supports Blender versions 4.4 through 5.2, so it runs on recent releases of the software. It installs as an addon and adds a single panel to the Blender sidebar, with no extra software needed alongside it. From that panel you select the objects you want cut, set your sheet size and tool thickness, and click Export DXF. If you run a version outside the 4.4 to 5.2 range, check the developer's page before installing.

What CNC software can open ProCutter CNC's DXF files?

ProCutter CNC exports standard DXF files, and the developer lists them as compatible with ArtCAM, Aspire, VCarve, Fusion 360, and more. Parts land on per-part named layers, and when a design uses several materials the export can split into one clean file per color or material. Duplicate geometry is removed during an automatic cleanup pass. For any CNC package not named on the developer's page, confirm DXF support on that tool's side before relying on it.

How does ProCutter CNC space parts for my cutting bit?

ProCutter CNC applies kerf, or tool-thickness, compensation so parts are spaced for your exact bit width. You set your tool thickness once, and the addon accounts for it while it nests. Nesting uses Best-Fit Decreasing Height packing to arrange parts, and you can also adjust the spacing between parts and export across multiple sheets with custom dimensions. This spacing happens in the same pass that nests the parts and cleans up the geometry, all triggered by the Export DXF button.

Is ProCutter CNC free, and what license does it use?

ProCutter CNC is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the MIT license. For current licensing terms and any support or purchasing details, check the developer's page, where Lanneq maintains the addon. It installs into Blender and adds a single panel to the sidebar, and a demo video is available if you want a closer look before installing.
