CutPlan: Cut List Optimizer

Stop wasting wood. CutPlan tells you exactly how many boards and sheets to buy, and where to make every cut — before you drive to the hardware store.

Give it the pieces you need. It gives you the cutting plan that wastes the least material, drawn out cut by cut.

TWO KINDS OF CUTTING, ONE APP

- Linear (1D): studs, dowels, pipe, moulding — anything you cut to length. Get the fewest stock lengths and where to cut each one.

- Panel (2D): plywood, MDF, melamine, glued panels — anything you cut from a sheet. Get a true nesting layout that packs your parts into the fewest sheets.

BUILT FOR THE HARDWARE STORE

- Pick your stock from presets — 2×4, 1×4 and other SPF lumber, standard plywood sheets, common stock lengths — with one tap

- Set the saw kerf (blade thickness) so the plan matches reality. A cut list that ignores kerf leaves you short — CutPlan never does.

- Lock grain direction on panels so the wood pattern runs the right way

- See your total material cost before you buy: number of stock pieces × price, plus per-cut store charges
