Where margin disappears
Your planning is costing
more than you think.
Most shops lose material before the first cut — not on the floor, but in planning.
01
Spreadsheet rebuilds
Every job recreated from scratch. No utilization history, no way to compare layout options between runs.
02
Decisions made too late
The cut sequence gets figured out at the machine, not before it. That's where waste gets locked in.
03
Margin leakage
Material overruns surface after the quote is already out. There's no buffer left to absorb them.
04
Disconnected handoff
Planning in one tool, review in another, production in a third. Context is missing before work starts.
One workspace. Start to finish.
Plan the cut before
you touch the sheet.
From parts and stock to verified layouts, exports, and ready-to-use handoff in one flow.
01
Load parts & stock
Add sizes, quantities, and sheet stock once. Everything stays tied to the same job.
→
02
Optimize & compare
Review utilization, waste area, and cut complexity side by side before committing material.
→
03
Export & hand off
Cut lists, layout visuals, and reports in JSON, CSV, PNG, or PDF — from one workspace.
Why CutOps
Built for people who cut for a living.
Layout optimization that works in the real world
Generate practical, constraint-aware layouts that balance sheet utilization, cut complexity, and material usage.
- Handles real constraints — grain direction, kerf / saw blade thickness, edge banding
- Optimizes for utilization and cut count simultaneously
- Runs in seconds, not minutes
