Tube & profile cutting plan

Distribute part lengths across stock bars and see required stock quantities and offcuts.

How to use

Calculation inputs

Each row: length × quantity. Example: 1000 x 3. Decimal point; up to 300 pieces.

Calculation result

Enter the values; results update automatically.

First-fit decreasing heuristic, not a guaranteed optimum. Up to 300 pieces and 100 rows. Bevels, clamping and special cuts are excluded.

How to use

Enter stock length, trim at each end, saw kerf and part list in mm. One kerf is reserved per piece; drawing numbers identify input rows.

Example calculation

S = 6000 mm; T = 10 mm; K = 3 mm; 2000 × 2 → 4000 + 6 + 20 + 1974 = 6000 mm.

Calculation method

S = ΣL + nK + 2T + R η = ΣL / ΣS × 100%

Calculation limits

First-fit decreasing heuristic, not a guaranteed optimum. Up to 300 pieces and 100 rows. Bevels, clamping and special cuts are excluded.
