How to quickly enter a list of parts, for example from Excel?

Example of a task for a linear cutting calculator:

For example, you need to cut 6 meter boards into: 23 pieces for 1.2m, 12 pieces for 2.3m, 6 pieces for 3m and 17 pieces for 0.8m. How to spend the least amount of initial boards and minimize waste?

Is there an offline version or mobile app with a calculator?

No. The web version of the calculator is adaptive for all types of devices and maximally optimized for fast download with slow Internet, which eliminates the need to create a mobile application or an offline version of the calculator.

How to place a calculator on your site?

Paste this code into your website:

Cut with a corner cut. Cutting with the ends at an angle (as in the frame of pictures):

If there are two types of segments with different angles (for example, 30 and 60 degrees), you must do two separate calculations for each type of segments. When the angle of all segments is the same (for example, 45 degrees), then this problem of cutting is solved, as usual, by one calculation.
For example, there is a task: cut into 4 types of pieces of length 2m: with a length of 79cm / 75cm ( outer / inner length), 59 / 55cm, 39 / 35cm and 29 / 25cm.
Solution: in the calculator we indicate the MIDDLE length of the segments: 77cm, 57cm, 37cm and 27cm and the length of the workpiece is 1.98m (the length of the blank for cutting 2m minus the difference between the maximum and average length of any segment, it is (59-57)=2 cm. In the resulting map, the cutting points should be marked as in the figure:

Is it planned to develop sheet cutting (2D cutting)?

Yes, in the near future.

What does the "Title" column mean?

The "title" of the part displayed on the nesting map. It may include any information: marking, section size, part number, etc. This is not a required parameter.
