Cutting list optimiser for boards
Enter your panels, pick the board and the blade: Verneer finds the layout with the fewest boards, measures every offcut and prints the plan ready for the panel saw, your cut-and-edge supplier or the CNC. On desktop and phone, even during load-shedding.
What a cutting list optimiser does
A cutting list optimiser tries thousands of ways to fit your panels on the board and keeps the one that wastes the least. Doing it by hand usually costs one or two extra boards per kitchen.
Verneer accounts for saw kerf, trim, grain and edging thickness. You get the exact number of boards, a drawing of each one and a list of usable offcuts.
For panel saws, cut-and-edge suppliers and CNC
For saws the plan uses guillotine cuts in the right order with the fence setting. For CNC routers panels can be nested freely. Print the plan or send the cutting list to your supplier.
Choose fewest boards, balanced or fewest cuts; Verneer shows the difference in boards and in rand.
