CuttingOpt.Pro — Optimal Linear Cutting

Version 2.4.5

• Better nesting of miter cuts
• New Symmetric profile (180°) checkbox under Profile height (miter) , on by default — untick it for L, T, Z, welded and otherasymmetric profiles so that no part is ever rotated.
• Rotated parts are marked ↔ and nested parts ⊂ in the text layout, the work card and the printout.
• Straight cuts unchanged - jobs without angled cuts give exactly the same results as v2.4.4 in every mode.

Version 2.4.4

This version аdds a stop-position axis under every bar (on screen and in print), start/end trim of stock bars, a "fewer distinct layouts" option, customer/order/part-note fields, a company logo on the printed document and direct Save-to-PDF, plus protection against printing an outdated result after the input has been edited.

Version 2.4.3

Redesigned visual diagram (badges, cut chips, per-bar efficiency, material grouping) unified with the web app, and a material-mismatch warning before calculation; engine unchanged.

Version 2.4.2

New exact solvers prove the minimum number of bars; smarter remnant concentration, per-joint kerf accounting, automatic profile recognition (HEA/HEB/IPE/UPN), redesigned shape picker and a full 7-language user guide.

Version 2.4.1

Save material. Save time. Save money — on every cut.

CuttingOpt.Pro is professional desktop software for linear cutting optimization, built for anyone who cuts material to length — window frames and PVC/aluminum profiles, lumber, pipes, metal bars, laminate, or trim. The program calculates how to arrange your parts across your available stock so you use the maximum amount of material and throw away as little as possible.

Why CuttingOpt.Pro?

8 smart algorithms in one. The "Optimal" mode runs every method in parallel and automatically picks the layout with the fewest stock pieces and the lowest waste — no math knowledge required. For advanced users, there's full control: FFD, BFD, Lookahead, GRASP and more, each with a clear explanation.

Real material savings. Precise accounting for blade thickness (kerf), minimum useful remnant, and maximum allowable waste. The system even offers to return usable remnants back into stock as new blanks for your next project.

Built for frames and miter cuts. Support for angled cuts (∠ left/right) with profile height and intelligent nesting that genuinely shortens the material needed for angled parts.

Shop-floor ready. A visual cutting diagram, a text layout, a step-by-step work order ("mark at X mm from the end"), and QR codes for every piece — for fast, error-free execution by the operator.

Complete workflow. Import from CSV/Excel, export to Excel, JSON, and PNG, printing, material cost calculation (€/m), save and load projects, undo/redo, and light and dark themes.

Multilingual interface with support for English, Bulgarian, German, and more.

Who is it for?

Manufacturers of PVC and aluminum windows, furniture workshops, carpentry and metalworking shops, installers, and any craftsman who wants to cut smart, not by eye.

Runs on Windows as a standalone application — no internet, no subscription, no cloud. Your data stays with you.
