PackMaker 2.0 is the next step forward in panel nesting. For the first time ever you will have complete control over the absolutely everything you plot or cut. From being able to change whether a point on a curve is treated as a curve or a corner to manipulating the shapes of panels themselves! PackMaker 2.0 brings a host of new features to the table including quite a few "panel colouring" options which give you far more information about what you are cutting. We are proud to offer PackMaker 2.0 on the PC and Mac (linux/unix versions are possible as well) for a demo please inquire to one of our friendly staff!
