About this 1d cutting optimizer

This cut length calculator is designed to solve problems of cutting linear or length stock material as timber, beams, bars, paper rolls or pipes into pieces of specified lengths with minimal material waste, named as cutting stock problem. In generally, it's kind of length cutting optimization software, in other words, it's cut length optimizer or linear cut calculator.

For simple problems, finding optimal solution is not a big deal, but when you need to cut material to bigger number of parts, or you demand more parts with different lengths, things are going to be more complicated. Basic and the most common length optimization algorithms, like "First Fit" or "Best Fit", are not a good choice. Here begins the strength of our linear cutting list calculator.

This length optimizer is very popular in carpentry. It can be used as powerful lumber cut calculator which produces optimal solutions how to cut lumber or timber with minimal waste.

As you can see, this linear cutting list calculator do not require any Excel add-ons or plugins. If you would like to see your cutting plan history at one place, try one of our Plans.
