Everything you need to know about CutPlan
CutPlan works with any flat sheet material — plywood, MDF, melamine, solid wood panels, metal sheets, glass, acrylic, and more. You can create custom materials with specific thicknesses and grain properties.
Yes — you can use CutPlan for free. The free tier includes 30 calculations and 5 exports per month, up to 150 parts and 1 saved project, with a faint watermark on free PDFs. For unlimited calculations, exports, and clean PDFs you can buy a one-time Project Pack or subscribe to Pro ($29/mo). No account is required to start.
CutPlan tests 148 different nesting strategies including first-fit decreasing, guillotine cuts, and advanced heuristics. It picks the layout that minimizes waste across all your sheets, respecting grain direction and edge banding constraints.
Yes. Exporting needs a free account; PDFs carry a faint CutPlan watermark, and the free plan includes 5 exports a month. DXF export for CNC is only in Pro. A Project Pack gives clean, watermark-free PDF and CSV exports for that project, but not DXF.
You can calculate cut plans without an account. Exporting (PDF, CSV, labels) needs a free account, which also adds one cloud-saved project you can open from any device.

It depends on what you cut. CutPlan is a strong free choice if you want to work in the browser with no installation: the free plan includes 30 calculations and 5 exports a month, it tries 148 optimization strategies, and it handles grain direction, edge banding, fabric rolls and shaped parts.
