Sheet goods optimizer

Sheet goods optimizer searches usually mean one thing: make better use of full panels. Whether the material is plywood, melamine, MDF, or mixed architectural panels, start from the stock you purchase and the parts you must produce.

How this maps to Cutlistor

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

Mixing materials

If two SKUs share thickness and your tools are set up for both, you can sometimes nest them together. Otherwise split runs so the optimizer reflects separate purchases.
