Cutting optimization

The genetic engine, now on the server

The same OptimCut optimization engine, brought up to date: it searches for the part layout with the least waste, taking into account grain, saw blade kerf and board trimming. The calculation runs on our servers, so even an old phone gets the result fast.

Fast and Precise methods

Choose between an instant result and a longer search with more cycles, for large orders where every board saved counts.

Quick optimization

A trial calculation with no stock, catalog or recipes: enter the board and part sizes and see the cutting plan instantly. Ideal for giving a customer a quote on the spot.

Plan verification

After every optimization, OptimCut checks the result on its own: all parts placed on boards, no overlaps, no cuts longer than the machine can handle and no strips too narrow for the blade.

Furniture, stock and materials

Furniture recipes by category

Describe a furniture unit once, with its parts, material, edge banding and grain, and at cutting time just choose how many you are making. Recipes are organized into categories (kitchens, wardrobes, dressers) and can include sub-assemblies: drawers, doors, shelves.

Board stock with offcuts

New boards and reusable offcuts live in the same stock. After cutting, the boards used are deducted automatically, and good offcuts can be added back for the next order.

Grain, edge banding, board trimming and pre-milling

Every part keeps its grain direction and the edge banding on each side. Board trimming and pre-milling of edge-banded parts are applied automatically in the calculation, so the final dimensions come out exact.

Workshop documents

Step-by-step cut sheet

The saw operator sees which piece to pick up, what measurement to set on the fence and what gets cut off. By default, the cutting order follows the piece in hand, so the board is turned over as rarely as possible.

Diagrams, labels, PDF and CSV

Dimensioned cutting diagrams, labels to stick on parts, the complete sheet in color or black and white, and CSV export for Excel: board requirements, cutting list, edge banding requirements and offcuts.

Saved sheets

Every confirmed cutting job is saved in Optimization results and can be reopened, printed or downloaded at any time within the next 6 months.
