How Cutlistor nests closet melamine

Use the free sheet cut list optimizer to enter closet melamine stock sizes, parts, kerf, and optional grain or edge-banding notes. You will see nested layouts and can export a PDF for the shop.

Melamine closets

Use prefinished melamine sheet sizes from your supplier for accurate yield.

Typical closet parts

Run rail lengths in the linear optimizer while panels stay in the sheet tool.

  • Uprights, shelves, decks, hanging rails (linear tool)
  • Filler strips and cleats
  • Backing panels if used

Step-by-step closet melamine sheet workflow

Start with the closet melamine sheet SKU you actually purchase — 2750×1830 mm white melamine common for closets. Add every finished part as width × height × quantity. Set kerf to 3.2 mm panel saw so the optimizer subtracts realistic blade loss for closet melamine.

Run the layout and read sheet count plus yield before buying. If yield looks low on closet melamine, check grain locks, mixed thicknesses, or whether neat grid for repeated shelf sizes fits your crew better.

Export the PDF when the diagram matches shop habits. If a dimension changes, edit the row and recalculate — the closet melamine nest refreshes immediately.

Layout methods for closet melamine

Cutlistor offers multiple sheet strategies because no single algorithm wins every closet melamine job. Rips and rows suits table-saw-first shops. Fewest sheets pushes yield when closet melamine cost dominates. Router / CNC layout helps dense packs when spoilboard spacing is set.

Closet systems repeat shelf and upright rectangles — multiply qty for the whole closet line.

Worked example: walk-in closet melamine pack

Four 600×2200 mm uprights, twelve 350×600 mm shelves, two 600×600 mm decks on 18 mm white melamine — one nest for the unit, scale qty for multiple closets.

Import, export, and verification

Import CSV or XLSX from /samples/cutlist-import/ when your closet melamine cut list already lives in a spreadsheet. Group rows with material codes when you buy multiple closet melamine SKUs.

Export kerf-aware PDF cut plans for the floor. Paid plans add saved projects, stock inventory, AI plan scanning, and 3D CAD import (glTF, GLB, Collada).

Free anonymous use includes 3 calculations per day, up to 20 part rows per session, and CSV/XLSX imports of up to 5 rows.

Before you cut closet melamine: checklist

Confirm closet melamine stock size matches inventory. Confirm kerf matches today's blade or bit.

Split mixed jobs: panels in the sheet optimizer, sticks in the linear optimizer.
