Cutting & nesting

Bar and sheet cutting plans (MDF, plywood, glass, steel and plastic) to cut waste and buy the right stock.

Bar cut list optimizer

Paste the part list (ID, length and quantity) and get the number of stock bars, grouped cutting patterns, kerf and trim loss, usable drops and material weight and cost. Compare up to 4 stock lengths (e.g. 20 ft and 24 ft) and a mixed plan, and use the drops already in stock first.

Bars, patterns and drops

Sheet cut list optimizer

Pick the sheet material (wood, steel, aluminum, glass, plastic) and size, paste the part list (name, length, width, quantity and, optionally, material) and get the number of sheets, a cutting layout for each sheet, yield, offcuts worth keeping, cost and, for wood, edge banding length. Enter the sheets and offcuts you have in stock to use them first, or tick the sizes available, each with its price, and get the cheapest sheet (or mix of sheets) suggested.
