How it works

A row-packing heuristic places larger parts first, with measured kerf between parts. Optional 90° rotation can improve placement. The drawing shows the actual placed dimensions and positions.

  • A part reported as unplaced may fit in a different arrangement. This tool does not guarantee minimum waste or generate machine toolpaths.
  • Lock rotation for directional grain. Enter usable sheet dimensions after edge trimming. Read the placed/unplaced count and verify the cutting order before using the layout.
