Plazmax is an authorised ProNest reseller and support agent in New Zealand. ProNest is available bundled with all new Plazmax CNC cutting systems, and available for standalone purchase or licence for operators running any compatible cutting machine.
ProNest® handles the full workflow of a cutting operation in a single platform, from importing parts and creating nests through to generating machine-ready cut files and managing job records.
ProNest’s automatic and manual nesting tools arrange parts on plate to minimise material waste. Common-line cutting, remnant tracking, and plate inventory management are all built in. For operations cutting expensive material such as stainless, aluminium, or wear plate, the yield improvement typically offsets the software cost quickly.
ProNest includes quoting tools that calculate material, cutting time, and consumable costs per job. Work orders can be created, tracked, and managed within the software, giving production managers visibility over the full job queue without separate spreadsheets or systems.
ProNest integrates directly with Plazmax CNC cutting systems and is compatible with a wide range of other machine brands. Post-processors for specific machines and controls are managed through the software, and cut parameters can be set and adjusted at the nesting stage rather than at the machine.
On systems running Hypertherm plasma power sources, ProNest includes SureCut technology, which embeds cutting parameters developed and validated by Hypertherm that automatically apply the correct process settings for the material, thickness, and amperage being run. This removes the need for operators to manually dial in parameters and reduces the variability between operators and shifts.
As an authorised ProNest reseller and support agent, Plazmax can supply new ProNest licences, manage licence renewals, and provide training and technical support. ProNest is available as a standalone purchase for operations not buying a new Plazmax machine.
If you are evaluating ProNest, a legitimate trial is available through Hypertherm’s authorised channel. Contact Plazmax to arrange access.
ProNest is commercial software sold exclusively through authorised Hypertherm channel partners. There is no legitimate free version, cracked version, or keygen. Downloads offered as such are not genuine ProNest and carry significant malware risk and potential legal exposure for your business. If you have found this page looking for a free or cracked version of ProNest, the most practical path forward is to contact us. We can discuss legitimate licencing options, including trial access, and in many cases the cost is more manageable than operators expect.

ProNest is compatible with a wide range of CNC cutting machines from different manufacturers. Compatibility depends on whether a post-processor is available for your specific machine and control. Contact us with your machine details and we can confirm compatibility before purchase.
SureCut™ is a Hypertherm technology embedded in ProNest that automatically applies validated cutting parameters for Hypertherm plasma systems – removing the need for manual process setup at the machine. It is available on ProNest configurations used with Hypertherm plasma power sources including the XPR and MaxPro200 ranges. For operations running Hypertherm plasma, SureCut™ is a meaningful productivity and consistency benefit.
