Once a nest completes, you turn it into output your shop can use. Exports are generated from a completed job by its RequestId.

​
What an export contains

An export represents the finished layout — the placed parts on each sheet — in a form suited to downstream use: CAM/machine consumption and human-readable reporting (material usage, per-sheet breakdown). Renders are useful for previews in your UI or for operator sheets.

​
Choosing between them

  • Producing cut files for a won job → GET /nesting/export.
  • Backing up a quote with a layout → GET /nesting/exportquotenest.
  • Showing the nest in a UI → GET /nesting/render/.
For the precise export payload and any format parameters, see the Nesting section of the API Reference.
