CutPlanner: Cut List Optimizer

CutPlanner is an offline cut list optimizer for sheet goods and lumber. Enter the stock you have and the parts you need, and it builds a cutting layout that wastes as little material as possible. It also remembers your offcuts, so the next project uses them first.

SHEET CUTTING OPTIMIZER (2D)
Plywood, MDF, particle board, melamine, acrylic, glass and metal sheet. Parts are packed onto each sheet with the saw kerf and an edge margin accounted for, and a to-scale cutting diagram shows exactly where every part goes. Set grain direction per part, or turn rotation off when a part must stay oriented.

LINEAR CUT LIST OPTIMIZER (1D)
Lumber, 2x4s, trim, molding, pipe, aluminium extrusion, steel bar and rebar. Get a board-by-board cut list that uses as little stock as possible.

OFFCUT INVENTORY — USE WHAT'S ALREADY ON THE RACK
Most cut list apps forget your leftovers the moment the job ends. CutPlanner keeps an offcut inventory and tries your offcuts before opening a fresh sheet or board, so scrap turns back into parts.

KERF & EDGE MARGIN PER PROJECT
Set blade kerf and edge margin for each project — a thin-kerf table saw and a track saw on a rough factory edge are not the same job.

MATERIAL COST ESTIMATE
Add a price to your stock and see the material cost of the project and the cost per part, with a clear warning when some stock has no price yet.

PRINT & SHARE
• PDF cutting diagrams for sheet projects
• Printable cut lists for linear projects
• One printable label per part, ready to stick on the workpiece
• CSV import and export for stock and parts — edit in any spreadsheet

BUILT FOR THE WORKSHOP
• Millimeters, centimeters, meters, inches or feet
• Reusable materials library for the stock you buy often
• Works fully offline — no account, no cloud, no sign-in

For woodworkers, cabinet makers, carpenters, joiners, DIYers, shopfitters and metal fabricators who would rather plan the cut once than buy another sheet.

Use it as a plywood cut calculator, a sheet cutting layout planner or a lumber cut list app — one cutting optimizer for every material in the shop.
