Cut Options

Blade Width: Determines how much material is accounted for waste in between usable slab pieces

First Cut Direction: Horizontal, vertical, or Auto. Allows you to match your machines operation, or have the program determine the best starting point

Cut Complexity: Reflects the tools you are using to make your cuts, lower complexity allows for more simple tools which can result in higher waste. Higher complexity assumes you are using more advanced machinery and results in the lowest waste percentage possible

Calculate Yield% by: Usage or Net. Do we include cutouts in yield percentage or not?

Fixed Slabs

Slab: Use the set slab size input from your specific cut-to-size or Stone products, or add other available slab sizes for use in optimization

Flexible Slabs


Slab Length and Width: Enter in the available minimum and maximum for each dimension

Step Depth: The lower the number, the more time and CPU power required to calculate. This metric tells the program at what interval it will check for optimal layouts. Example: every 1" or every 6"

Multiple Slab Sizes: This setting can allow for ordering or using different slab sizes to achieve the optimal outcome, or restrict to 1 slab size to find the best possible outcome for one specific slab size

Cut Table

Displays the Dimensions, tags, duplication amounts, area name, and allows you to toggle and untoggle the ability to rotate a piece to reduce waste. Click Start cut again to see the changes. You can also search for specific pieces and click on them in their row to highlight them in the optimizer
