BoardWise - Cut List Optimizer

BoardWise is a workshop-first cut list and sheet goods optimizer built for cabinetmakers, furniture builders, and dedicated woodworkers. Turn rough cut lists and commercial sheet dimensions into clean, saw-ready guillotine cutting sequences while squeezing maximum yield out of every board foot.

• True 2D Guillotine Rip & Cross Nesting Generate realistic, stepped rip and cross-cut sequences tailored to sliding table saws, track saws, and panel cutters. Lock grain direction lengthwise for matched drawer fronts and tabletops, or allow free rotation on cleats to boost packing density.

• Closed-Loop Offcut Rack Management Stop tossing usable hardwood offcuts into the scrap bin. BoardWise catalogs leftover panels in your persistent shop rack and automatically pulls matching offcuts into new project layouts before consuming fresh commercial stock.

• Defect Avoidance & Thin-Kerf Economics Pinpoint dead knots, drying checks, and sapwood margins right on your rough lumber boards. The layout solver routes parts cleanly around natural timber defects while calculating sawdust volume reduction between standard 1/8" and 2.0 mm thin-kerf saw blades.
