Castoro helps furniture workshops, production teams and independent makers plan sheet cutting. Choose straight cuts for a saw or contour nesting for CNC preparation. Saw cutting - rectangular parts entered by length, width and quantity - grain direction, kerf width and sheet edge margins - compare layouts by material use and number of cuts - preserve reusable offcuts for future orders - preview the cut sequence step by step Sizes and edge banding - enter finished sizes or saw blank sizes - calculate blank sizes from edge banding thickness and premilling - view finished and blank sizes side by side in the table and PDF - assign banding to each side and use a catalogue of banding types - totals for banding length, rolls and cost - inspect rectangular parts in 3D with banding, grain and dimensions Contour nesting - upload DXF and DWG drawings, including files packed in ZIP - recognise part outlines and holes - arrange shaped and rectangular parts on sheets - set spacing, allowed rotations and search time - generate reusable offcuts and use them in another calculation - download layouts, parts and offcuts in DXF/DWG Prepare layouts for routing, laser, plasma and waterjet cutting. Machine toolpaths and control programs are prepared separately in CAM software. Data entry - import rectangular part lists from Excel, CSV and the clipboard - automatic column matching with manual correction - data checks during import Shop-floor documents - PDF reports with layouts, part lists and material totals - download files or share a result link - for saw cutting: labels with dimensions, material, banding and grain - scan a label's QR code to open the part card in a phone browser without installing the app Cost estimates for saw cutting - material and edge banding costs - currency, discounts, markups and taxes - totals in the results and PDF Projects and history - save and rename calculations - search calculation history - repeat calculations with saved settings Materials include chipboard, MDF, plywood, glass, mirrors, metal, plastic, acrylic and composite panels.
