Open calculatorCalculator or Optimizer?
A calculator can tell you how much material a project needs. An optimizer goes further: it considers the actual stock you have, the parts you need, blade kerf and usable leftovers, then produces a cutting layout.
CutWize combines both jobs in one browser-based workflow. You can also keep usable offcuts in stock and use them on future jobs rather than treating every leftover as scrap.
