1D Cutting Optimization for Fabricators
High-precision 1D cutting optimizer for profiles, tubes, and lumber. Account for precise saw kerf tolerances to maximize your material yield.
Built for Complex Shop-Floor Material Logic
Standard cutting calculators only look at simple lengths. Cut Optimizer is engineered to handle the actual physical constraints of a working production environment, giving your team accurate, ready-to-cut layouts.
Advanced Miter Cut Nesting
Maximize linear material yield when fabricating angled frames. The software automatically calculates the exact overlapping nesting positions for 45-degree and multi-angle miter cuts, safely compressing your remaining drop-lengths so they can be reused on future production runs.
Precise Saw Kerf Compensation
Account for every millimeter of material turned into dust or shavings by the blade. Input your exact machine kerf settings to ensure the generated physical cutting map perfectly matches your final shop-floor dimensions.
Reusable Remnant & Scrap Tracking
Reduce warehouse overhead by logging remaining off-cuts. The algorithm prioritizes using your existing drop inventory before instructing operators to cut into brand-new, standard-length raw stock.
Industrial Material Splicing Logic
For heavy-duty structural engineering and rebar fabrication, calculate whether it is more cost-effective to weld and splice shorter remnants together or pull a fresh stock length from the racks.
Supported Materials & Profiles
Whether you are running a high-volume CNC stop or manual miter saws, Cut Optimizer calculates instantly for:
Aluminum Extrusions
Architectural storefronts, window frames, and curtain walls.
Structural Steel
Hollow structural sections (HSS), pipe, tubing, channels, and rebar.
Woodworking & Timber
Moldings, dimensional lumber, battons, and fr aming.
Plastic & PVC
Vinyl profiles, conduits, and industrial piping.
From Raw Dimensions to Production in Seconds
Streamline your workshop planning from raw numbers to machine-ready layout maps in three simple steps.
Define Your Stock
Input your available raw bar lengths, warehouse drops, and blade kerf.
Enter Profile Demand
Import your required material dimensions directly from Excel, CSV, or manual input.
