Jun 09, 2017  ‎Nesting Optimizer is 1 dimension and 2 dimensions cutting optimizer. Use to calculate cutting pattern for many kinds of material. For sample, steel bar, pipe, wood, plywood, metal sheet and etc. User can define part and material size. User can define blade size (losing material when cutting).

This tool is designed to make your cutting tasks a little easier.

There are quite a few cut list generators on the web - Cutlist Plus and MaxCut are two popular examples, but they are fairly expensive paid software aimed at the professional workshop. Workshop Buddy aims to bring you a sophisticated cut optimization tool for free, with no software to download and usable on both desktop and mobile devices.

Workshop Buddy has two options - sheet material calculator and linear material calculator. Both options create optimised cutting diagrams, but have different options tailored to your stock.

Highlights

• Sophisticated optimisation algorithm
• Grain preferences (for wood projects)
• Optimization diagrams
• Automatically add new stock material until all cuts are catered for
• Ability to optimize for cross or rip (longituduinal) cuts
• Save and recall your job
• Super quick - no more waiting around

Limitations

• Only decimal units supported currently
• Only one saved job supported

Options

Workshop Buddy has three main calculation options -

1. Least waste
2. Longitudinal (rip cut) optimization
3. Cross cut optimization

The default setting is to try and create cuts which leave the least waste on the stock material, you don't need to do anything to activate this setting. It you use the rip or cross cut settings, more offcut material is likely to occur, but it might make your job easier if you are using, for example, a table saw. Longitudinal and cross cut optimizations allows a cut to be made from one side of the material to the other without needing to stop.

Comparison with Cutlist Plus

Cutlist Plus is an extremely well-developed piece of software, is highly customizable and ideal for the professional. It has many features which are not available with Workshop Buddy. Below we're going to compare optimization diagrams to demonstrate the functionality of Workshop Buddy and to hopefully show it's a viable alternative for some of the most common cutting tasks.

Project example

This project uses a sheet of MDF with dimensions of 48x96 inches

The following shapes are required (all in inches)

• 34.5 x 10 (8)
• 26 x 14 (3)
• 23.75 x (2)
• 26.75 x 3 (2)
• With a blade thickness of 0.125 inches

Cutlist Plus example result

Cutlist Plus has done a good job of optimizing the cuts

Workshop Buddy result

For this example, Workshop Buddy has created a very similar pattern - high fives all round!

As you can see, the results are very similar, and hopefully this demonstrates Workshop Buddy's optimization talent. We're not saying Workshop Buddy matches all of the capabilities of Cutlist Plus, and it's not perfect (yet!) but for those who can't afford the subscription it's an alternative worth considering.

If you do use Workshop Buddy, and you think there is a cut list we could optimize better - please do let us know.

Cabinet Solutions is an easy-to-use design program for cabinet makers. Features include 2D/3D drawings, dimensioned floor plans & elevations, cut lists, door reports, job costing, a panel optimizer, and an optional CNC exporter.

The top three reasons cabinet makers purchase a program such as Cabinet Solutions are:

1. A quick and easy way to preview your project via 3D & 2D drawings.
2. A quick and easy way to accurately estimate job costs.
3. A quick and easy way of accurately generating manufacturing reports such as cut lists, door lists, and panel optimizations.

We address these needs by providing a program that enables you to complete your initial layouts & revisions quickly, estimates job costs based on your real material & hardware costs, and generates a number of manufacturing-related reports to help build the job after your proposal is accepted.

Whether you rent or purchase, you still get the same capabilities (see software features below) in the standard program.
