Free Cut List Optimizer

The support team aims to reply within two business days, which is helpful when I have questions about the optimizer.

The tool works well for basic parts lists, but it does not specify blade kerf or grain direction in the free exports. You have to check the inputs manually before buying material. It is useful for comparing nesting methods, though the free version lacks project saving features.

For anyone considering this company, the convenience of a tool that runs locally in your browser is a major advantage. You do not need to wait for server uploads or create a new account to begin optimizing your parts list. The workspace provides a dedicated, device-aware environment where you can manage stock, parts, nesting, guillotine sequences, and workshop-ready exports all in one place. It is impressive that the free version allows you to turn a measured parts list into a practical sheet plan that accounts for kerf. You can inspect the resulting sheet plan directly, comparing geometric Free Nesting with executable Guillotine Cutting to see yield, waste, and placements clearly. The ability to export as a placement CSV, PNG, or Print PDF means the plan leaves the browser in a form the shop can review immediately, making it easy to carry the result forward without complex integration steps.

It is fantastic that the Cut List Optimizer runs locally in your browser without any need for uploads or creating an account. You can start with the cabinet example immediately to see how the geometric Free Nesting compares with executable Guillotine Cutting. The workspace keeps every control and result visible while you plan, which is incredibly helpful when dealing with standard sheets like plywood or MDF. I love that you can export the placement CSV, PNG, or Print PDF directly for the workshop. The ability to compare free nesting and guillotine cutting layouts while accounting for kerf makes the planning process so much more transparent and reliable for our fabrication desk.

From the information available, the tool handles kerf and yield well. I appreciate that no signup is required to start optimizing parts immediately for my shop.
