App Description (English) Plan your wood cuts efficiently and reduce waste before you start cutting or buying materials. This app helps you prepare clear, optimised cut plans for woodworking and DIY projects, whether you are working with linear elements (planks) or sheet materials (panels). It is designed as a practical planning tool for DIYers, makers, and professionals who want reliable layouts and better control over off-cuts. -Choose between plank projects (linear elements such as boards, battens, or strips) and sheet projects (panels and boards). Each project type uses an optimisation approach adapted to the material. -Generate cut layouts that organise your parts efficiently, taking kerf width into account and aiming to minimise off-cuts and material waste. -By visualising how parts fit into your available material, you can reduce unnecessary waste, optimise purchases, and make more sustainable use of wood. -View detailed cut plans with dimensions, kerf lines, and off-cut areas clearly identified, making the cutting process easier to follow in the workshop. -Save your projects to revisit them later, duplicate setups, or adjust dimensions as your project evolves. Load previous projects at any time to continue where you left off. -Export your full project as a multi-page PDF, including all cut plans and detailed information. Ideal for sharing, printing, shopping lists, or tracking progress on site or in the workshop.
