Cutting optimization software

What is a wood cutting optimization software used for?

A wood cutting optimization software calculates cutting plans to make the best use of the available material. It helps cut panels and boards while minimizing offcuts.

In woodworking, it organizes the placement of parts to be manufactured on panels. In sawmills, some solutions use log (tree trunk) measurements to guide sawing.

What cutting optimization solutions can be found on WoodPartners?

WoodPartners brings together cutting plan and nesting software, as well as solutions for sawmills. Nesting involves placing the parts to be cut on a panel to make better use of its surface.

The offering also includes measurement, scanning, and control systems associated with sawing lines. Therefore, not all references are standalone software. This diversity makes it possible to compare solutions according to the needs of a workshop or an industrial installation.

How do you choose a solution suited to your activity?

Start by identifying the wood being processed, the machines used, and the cuts to optimize. A panel workshop does not have the same constraints as a sawmill.

Check the software’s compatibility with your machines and the data required for it to operate. The Software section of WoodPartners also presents complementary solutions, notably design software (CAD, BIM) and manufacturing software (CAM, CAD/CAM).
