Features

Dekupeo is a comprehensive solution for automated DXF, SVG or bitmap nesting, laser cutting and engraving including g-code generation and machine control. Here is an overview of its core capabilities.

Nesting & Material Optimization

  • True-shape Nesting: High-efficiency algorithm with part-in-part placement to minimize waste.
  • Mass File Upload: Upload multiple files simultaneously for batch processing.
  • Part Quantity Detection: Automatically reads required quantities from filenames (e.g., part_x5.dxf).
  • Grain Lock: Maintain material grain direction by locking rotation for specific parts.
  • Nesting Controls: Fine-tune results with configurable spacing, border offsets, rotation steps, and curve tolerance.
  • Sheet Management: Define custom sheet sizes and detect parts that exceed boundaries.

Advanced Tooling & Processing

  • Raster Engraving: Support for image engraving with dithering algorithms (Floyd-Steinberg, Bayer) and configurable DPI.
  • G-code Generator: Fully configurable laser/CNC paths with speed and power presets for different materials.
  • Kerf Compensation: Accurate path offsetting to account for the width of the laser beam or tool.
  • Bitmap Import: Support for common image formats (PNG, JPG) for part import and raster engraving.
  • ENGRAVE Layers: Automatic detection and preservation of specialized layers during the nesting process.

Laser Cutter Control & G-code Sender

  • G-code Sender: Connect directly to your machine via Serial (USB), Wi-Fi, or Ethernet.
  • Firmware Compatibility: Supports Grbl, GrblHal, FluidNC and similar controllers.
  • SD Card Support: Upload and run G-code from SD card for compatible firmware (GrblHal, FluidNC).
  • Real-time Visualization: 3D g-code preview and job progress tracking.
  • Direct Control: Interactive console, jogging commands, homing, and origin management.
  • Gamepad Support: Use Xbox controllers or standard gamepads for wireless machine positioning.
  • Network Discovery: Automatic detection of network-enabled machines (Desktop version).
  • Job Interruption: Pause, resume, and stop commands for safe operations.

Modern User Experience

  • Dark Theme: Reduced eye strain with a fully integrated dark mode interface.
  • Cross-Platform: Available as a web-based online app and a native Windows Desktop application.
  • Export and Import: Export or Import settings, nested layouts or G-code.
  • Imperial & Metric: Full support for both millimeters and inches.
