Read full description

Turn a list of rectangular parts into a practical sheet cutting layout. RollCut Panel helps you plan work with plywood, panels and sheet metal, keep useful remnants, and prepare documents for the workshop. PLAN THE CUT Enter part dimensions and quantities, paste a list, or recognize a photographed list with Apple’s on-device OCR. Set sheet dimensions, kerf, margins and rotation options. Inspect dimensions and cut lines in a full-screen layout. PUT REMNANTS BACK TO WORK Keep a stock of plywood and sheet-metal remnants with dimensions, material, thickness, texture, color and notes. Search these characteristics, find a suitable piece, and add it to another project. KEEP THE WORK ORGANIZED Save, reopen and duplicate projects. Export PDF production documents and DXF drawings. Work in metric or imperial units on iPhone and iPad, with adaptive layouts for iPhone Duo. FREE MODE AND PRO Free mode currently supports calculations for one unique part size; a 90-degree rotation counts as the same size. RollCut Panel Pro unlocks mixed layouts with multiple part sizes. Monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscriptions are available. Prices and any eligible introductory offers are shown in the app. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
