Cut List Optimizer

Create an efficient cut layout for repeated linear parts or rectangular sheet parts.

Linear cut partsEnter each required cut length and quantity.
Sheet partsEnter rectangular part width, height and quantity.

How it works

Linear stock uses a first-fit-decreasing heuristic. Sheet stock uses a shelf-packing heuristic with optional 90° rotation.

Limitations

  • The optimizer seeks an efficient layout but does not guarantee the mathematical global optimum.
  • Real cutting may require extra allowance for defects, grain direction, clamps, trimming and machine setup.
  • For browser performance, a single calculation is limited to 1,000 total cut parts.
