Quote nesting answers a narrower question than a full nest: how much material will this job need? It’s tuned for speed so you can price a job quickly, rather than to produce final cutting output.

​
Endpoints

Both follow the same async model: submit, receive a RequestId (returned as an ApiNestingResult, i.e. { "RequestId": … }), then receive progress and completion on your ResultsWebhookUri. The quote webhook streams "InterimResult" payloads as sub-nests finish and a final "Complete" — a different shape from the standard 2D result; see Webhooks → Quote nesting results. Collect the layout itself with GET /v1/nesting/exportquotenest. Both endpoints are also served unversioned (/nesting/quotenesting) for existing callers, but /v1 is the canonical path.

Quote vs. production nesting

Exporting a quote nest

Use quote nesting in estimating flows where you need a number fast, and full nesting once the job is won and you need production output.
