MaxCut vs CutList

Stop wasting material. MaxCut finds the best cutting plan so you get the most out of every MDF or plywood sheet — and every bar, profile, or tube — with less offcut and more savings. It's simple: enter the parts you need, choose your material, and MaxCut works out the ideal layout in seconds. You'll see how many sheets or bars you'll use, the yield as a percentage, and a parts list ready to take to the workshop. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Optimize sheet cuts (2D) — MDF, plywood, MDP and more, accounting for blade kerf and grain direction. • Optimize bar and linear cuts (1D) — profiles, tubes and trims, with minimal leftover. • See real efficiency — total sheets/bars used and the yield percentage for every plan. • Organize by project — group plans by job or client and pick up right where you left off. • Build your material catalog — save the sheets and bars you use most, with their sizes. • Visual cutting maps — a clear diagram showing where each part goes.
