CutSimply

Stock planning

Plan new stock, existing remnants and usable offcuts before cutting.

CutSimply can either calculate the number of new bars needed, or check a fixed stock quantity when you already know what material is available.

Open the optimiser

Two stock modes

Calculate bars needed is useful for quoting or ordering material. Enter one or more available stock lengths and CutSimply will choose a layout based on the optimiser aim.

Use fixed stock quantity is useful when the rack already has a set number of bars available. If the job cannot fit, the calculator warns you instead of silently assuming more stock can be opened.

Multiple stock lengthsCompare common lengths such as 3m, 6m, 7.5m and 12m to see which gives the cleaner cut plan.
Existing remnants firstAdd offcuts/remnants with quantities and labels, then let the optimiser use them where they make sense.
Stock pull listAfter a calculation, CutSimply shows the new stock bars to pull or order, including approximate weight.
Remnant labelsUsable offcuts above your threshold can be copied or exported for rack labelling.

Useful offcut threshold

Set a realistic threshold for what your workshop would actually keep. A tiny offcut might technically be waste, but a longer remnant may be worth labelling and putting back in the rack.

Rough weight checks

The stock and remnant weights use the selected rough material density and section size. Treat them as planning values, not certified weighing data.
