CUTTING OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE

Optimize a cutting job against the stock you can actually use.

KerfFlow connects part demand, physical inventory, cutting constraints, and execution. The result is more than a utilization percentage: it is a traceable plan built from named source stock.

01

START WITH DEMAND

Describe the parts, not an idealized total.

A cutting job begins with the parts production needs. Quantities, dimensions, material compatibility, and orientation rules stay explicit so feasibility can be evaluated before a plan is accepted.

  • Lengths or rectangular dimensions
  • Required quantities
  • Material and stock compatibility
  • Rotation or grain constraints where relevant
02

PLAN AGAINST INVENTORY

Choose concrete source items from the rack.

KerfFlow considers compatible full stock and reusable remnants as physical candidates. Every accepted placement can be traced to the source item it consumes.

  • Named stock and remnant candidates
  • Usable dimensions after trims
  • Kerf-aware feasibility
  • Source-level assignments
03

REVIEW BEFORE EXECUTION

Understand what will be cut and what will remain.

The result exposes the placement and cutting sequence together with material outcomes. Planners can examine waste, expected remnants, and cost before turning the plan into work.

  • Placement coordinates and orientation
  • Ordered cuts
  • Expected remnant geometry
  • Waste and material cost

FAQ

Cutting optimization questions

Is KerfFlow only a nesting calculator?

No. Optimization is connected to physical stock, constraints, expected remnants, costing inputs, and cutting work orders.

Can full stock and remnants be evaluated together?

Eligible full stock and reusable remnants can both be considered as concrete source candidates for a job.

Does KerfFlow support both 1D and sheet cutting?

Yes. The product covers linear stock and rectangular parts placed on compatible sheet stock.
