Enter your available sheets & required cuts, then press Calculate β or click Example to see a sample.
This sheet cutting calculator helps you plan efficient cutting layouts for plywood, MDF, melamine, and other panel goods. Enter your available sheet sizes and the parts you need, and the optimizer arranges them to minimize waste and reduce the number of sheets you have to buy.
It's ideal for cabinetry, closets, built-ins, and any 2D panel project. Adjust the saw blade (kerf) thickness, allow part rotation, and optimize for either minimum waste or lowest material cost β then copy your cut list and head to the shop.
Yes. The optimizer runs in your browser and is free for everyday panel layouts β enter your sheets and parts and get a nesting plan with no sign-up.
Yes. Set the blade (kerf) thickness and the optimizer reserves that gap between every cut, so your nested layout matches a real table saw or panel saw.
Yes. Allow rotation and the optimizer can turn parts 90Β° to pack them tighter. Leave it off when grain direction matters, such as veneered plywood.
Any rectangular sheet good β plywood, MDF, melamine, particleboard, OSB, sheet metal, acrylic, and glass. Optimize for minimum waste or lowest material cost.
