Cutlist Optimizer 4 / SmartCut vs Sawgrid

SmartCut is a cutlist optimizer for iPhone and iPad. Enter your parts and the sheets or lengths you can buy, and it works out how to cut them with the least waste. You get the cutting diagrams, the number of sheets you need, where every offcut falls, and a cut-by-cut sequence you can follow at the saw. MATERIALS Sheet materials such as plywood, MDF, chipboard, acrylic, glass and sheet metal, and linear stock such as construction timber, bar, pipe and extrusion. Work in decimals or fractions, in whichever units you use. CUT TYPES • Guillotine — for saws that cut edge to edge in a straight line, such as a table saw or beam saw. Choose length cuts for ripping, or width cuts for cross-cutting on a mitre saw or a cross-cut sled. • Efficiency — the default. Prioritises the fewest cuts and the least waste, ideal for a jigsaw, laser cutter or CNC. REAL-WORLD DETAIL The plan matches how the material will actually be cut: • Blade width, so the kerf is not quietly ignored • Grain direction, with a per-part lock to length or width • Edge banding on any side of a part • Stock trim, to skip damaged or unsquare edges • Infinite stock, when you can buy as many sheets as you need FEATURES • Fast and accurate layouts • Sheet / 2D / boards / panels • Linear / 1D / bars / rods • Decimals and fractions, with quick fraction entry • Colour-coded materials, so a mixed job stays readable • Stack identical layouts • Save and reopen projects • Export to PDF to print for the workshop AT THE SAW Step through the cuts one at a time, with measurements shown from both sides so you can check yourself against either edge. Or print the PDF and take it to the bench. ALSO AVAILABLE Cutlist Evolution runs the same optimizer in any web browser, on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook, with nothing to install. cutlistevo.com FEEDBACK hello@cutrevolution.com TERMS OF USE https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Stop guessing how to break down a sheet. Enter your panel sizes and your part list, and Sawgrid works out the layout that gets the most out of every board. Built for cabinetmakers, joiners, furniture makers, metal fabricators, laser and CNC shops, and anyone who buys material by the full sheet. Every cut Sawgrid produces runs edge to edge across the panel, which is exactly what a table saw or a panel saw can actually execute. WHAT SAWGRID DOES - 2D panel nesting built only from through cuts your saw can follow - 1D length cutting for trim, tube, bar and profile, in the same project - Runs all 108 optimisation strategies and keeps the best result - Edge trim on the outside edges counted exactly, never estimated - Every requested part is either placed or reported with a reason. Nothing is dropped in silence - Millimetres, centimetres and inches, including fractions like 2' 6 3/4 SAWGRID PRO - Multi page PDF with the cut map, part list, cut sequence and labels, plus the cut list as CSV - Your own saw kerf, instead of the fixed 3 mm every free plan is solved with - Grain direction per part: free to rotate, forced lengthwise or forced crosswise - Several materials and thicknesses in one project, one run, separate plans per material - More than one saved project, side by side - Saw table mode: the next cut shown large, the screen stays awake, tick each cut off - Offcut stock that gets used up before you open a fresh sheet - Thorough optimisation: a second pass that often saves another panel on a big job Pro is available as a subscription or as a one time purchase. Calculating layouts is free, for as many parts and panels as a real job has, and a free plan is the whole plan: the cut map, the utilisation and the area balance. Free works on one project at a time, with one material in it, and a fixed 3 mm saw kerf that the result screen states every time. Everything is computed on your device. There is no account and no project leaves the phone. Only the advertising in the free version needs a connection, and Pro carries none. Sawgrid works in a basement workshop with no signal.
