Cutting Plan Optimizer

Maximize your material yield and drastically reduce workshop waste with the ultimate cut list calculator and true shape nesting software designed specifically for your mobile device. Whether you are cutting wood, sheet metal, heavy glass, fabric, or advanced composite materials, our comprehensive cutting planner bridges the gap between expensive, desktop-bound industrial CAD software and basic rectangular panel calculators.

Built for professional carpenters, CNC machinists, metal fabricators, and advanced DIY makers, this material calculator brings industrial-grade nesting algorithms directly to your smartphone or tablet. Stop relying on tedious manual cutting layouts, ditch the graph paper, and start mathematically optimizing every single sheet.

THE TRUE SHAPE NESTING ADVANTAGE
Unlike basic cut list apps that are strictly limited to 1D linear cuts or 2D rectangular panel cutting, our advanced optimization engine supports full true shape nesting. This means the algorithm intelligently rotates, interlocks, and nests irregular polygons, circles, and complex freeform geometric shapes.

CORE FEATURES & CAPABILITIES

• Advanced Material Optimization: Instantly generate the most efficient cutting plan to minimize scrap, reduce labor time, and maximize usable offcuts.
• True Shape & Rectangular Nesting: Calculate high-yield layouts for both standard rectangular panels and complex, irregular geometric parts in the same project.
• Cut List Calculator: Easily input your required parts, sheet dimensions, and quantities to generate an accurate, visual cutting layout in seconds.
• Blade Kerf & Edge Banding: The algorithm automatically subtracts saw blade thickness (kerf) and calculates edge banding requirements to ensure millimeter-perfect accuracy on the shop floor.
• Grain Direction Control: Lock part orientations to align perfectly with wood grain for visually seamless furniture building and cabinet making.
• Inventory & Remnant Tracking: Manage your available stock sheets and automatically save usable offcuts (remnants) to your digital inventory for future cutting projects.
• Multi-Material Support: The perfect cutting planner for woodworking (plywood, MDF, OSB, melamine), metal fabrication (aluminum, sheet metal), flat glass cutting, and textiles.
• Mobile-First Workshop Tool: Generate optimized layouts directly on the shop floor or job site. No desktop PC or internet connection required.
• Cloud Synchronization: Securely back up your cutting plans, project templates, and workshop inventory data across all your Android devices.

WHO IS THIS CUTTING PLANNER FOR?

• Woodworkers & Cabinet Makers: Quickly calculate complex plywood cut lists for furniture building, custom cabinetry, and precision panel saw cutting.
• CNC Machinists & Operators: Optimize material layouts for CNC routing, laser cutting, and plasma cutting utilizing complex freeform shapes and toolpaths.
