Cutting Plan
Plan straight cuts for boards or sticks with kerf, rotation and grain constraints.
Preparing your tool…
How to use it
- Choose 1D bars or 2D sheets and enter available stock and required parts in millimetres.
- Set quantities, saw kerf, rotation permissions and grain direction; mark existing offcuts.
- Review placements, the cut sequence, reusable remnants and any unplaced parts.
- Export the checked plan as PDF, CSV or JSON.
A 1,000 mm bar with two 400 mm pieces and two 3 mm cuts leaves 194 mm. If the stock is exactly 803 mm, only one cut is needed between the two pieces.
Details & limits
Bounded 1D/2D guillotine heuristic, up to 200 parts. Dimensions use 0.1 mm precision. Full kerf stays inside stock. Every placement is checked; global optimality is not promised.
Is the layout guaranteed to use the least material?
No. It uses a bounded guillotine-cut heuristic and checks dimensions, quantities, grain and kerf. Unplaced parts stay visible, including cases where a different layout might work. Review the cut sequence and measurements before cutting; the diagram is a plan, not machine instructions.
