FeneCAM vs Opticutter: general cutlist, API included or sold separately?

Same 1D/2D cutlist class. Different packaging. FeneCAM is a general cutting optimizer for bars, pipes, profiles and sheets, used in the browser or by agents through the Agent API and MCP, which every plan includes. An Enterprise API plan (USD 99/month) covers high API volume. Window and door fabrication (45/45 miters, single-head / double-head / CNC saw modes) is one built-in feature. Opticutter is a generic cutlist plus a documented public REST API, often sold as a separate EUR 99 list SKU.

This is a fair 2026 comparison, not a ranking. Facts below were checked on 11 October 2026. Vendor for Opticutter: Devtica s.r.o., Žilina.

What is the same

Both products solve the one-dimensional and two-dimensional cutting stock problem: stock lengths or sheets in, a nest out. Both have a free public calculator and paid workspace plans. Both export a cut plan a shop can print or download.

What is different

FeneCAM optimizes linear stock (steel bars, pipe and tube, aluminium and other profiles) and rectangular sheets. Window and door fabrication (45/45 miters, a remnant warehouse, single-head / double-head / CNC machine modes) is one feature, not the whole product. Exports are PDF, XLS, CSV and DXF only. An authenticated Agent API and MCP are included in every plan: Free $0 with 1,000 credits once, Standard $9 with 1,000 credits a month, Professional $19 with 2,000 a month (1 optimize = 1 credit = $0.01). For high API volume, Enterprise API costs $99/month with 12,000 credits a month, and credit packs (from 1,000 credits for $10) add credits that do not expire. The calling guide is the agents page.

Opticutter’s public product is a generic cutlist (bars, sheets, many materials) plus a documented REST API. That API is often sold as a separate EUR 99 list SKU. FeneCAM’s agent access is a channel to the same optimizer the browser uses, not a claim that the two APIs are the same product.

Price, not “cheaper”

List prices sit next to each other but not in the same currency. FeneCAM bills in USD through Paddle: Free $0, Standard $9/month, Professional $19/month and Enterprise API $99/month; every plan includes the Agent API. Opticutter list prices checked 11 Oct 2026: EUR 9 / EUR 19, plus an API plan at EUR 99. Currency conversion is not a simple cheaper/more expensive claim.

Any linear stock works in either tool

A 6000 mm steel bar, tube or aluminium profile is linear stock in any 1-CSP solver. Workflow is what differs: FeneCAM asks for kerf, 45/45 miters, remnants and machine mode (single head, double head or CNC). For what Opticutter’s inputs cover, see its own docs. Try the 1D linear optimizer or the 2D sheet nester.

FAQ

Are FeneCAM and Opticutter the same product?

No. Same 1D/2D class, different packaging. FeneCAM is a general cutting optimizer for bars, pipes, profiles and sheets, with window and door workflow as one built-in feature and agent access included in every plan. Opticutter is a generic cutlist plus a public REST API often listed at EUR 99.

Does FeneCAM have a documented API?

Yes. FeneCAM has an authenticated Agent API and MCP, documented on the agents page and at /openapi.json. Every plan includes it: Free $0 with 1,000 credits once, Standard $9 with 1,000 credits a month, Professional $19 with 2,000 a month (1 optimize = 1 credit = $0.01). An Enterprise API plan at USD 99/month adds 12,000 credits a month for high volume. Opticutter’s documented REST API is often sold as a separate EUR 99 list SKU. FeneCAM exports remain PDF, XLS, CSV and DXF only.

Is FeneCAM cheaper because $9 sits next to €9?

No. USD and EUR are different currencies. List prices were checked on 11 October 2026. Do not treat them as a simple cheaper comparison.

Can either tool cut steel, pipe or aluminium bars?

Yes, as linear stock: steel bars, pipe and tube, aluminium profiles, or window frame and sash bars. The nest math is the same class. FeneCAM adds kerf, 45/45 miters, remnants and single-head / double-head / CNC machine modes.

FeneCAM by industry: steel bars, pipe and tube, aluminum profiles and windows and doors.
