Plan smarter cuts. Waste less material. Quote with confidence.
The Cybear404 AutoCut Optimizer helps shops, fabricators, and builders minimize material waste when cutting rods, pipes, bars, or tubes. Instead of manually calculating how many pieces fit per stock length, the app groups your cut list by material and stock length, accounts for saw kerf, and proposes an efficient cut plan with clear Excel-based reports.
Why It’s Helpful
- Reduce scrap and cost - packs more cuts per bar by accounting for kerf and leftover space.
- Order the right amount - procurement totals show how many bars to buy per material and stock length.
- Quote faster - generate clean plans and attachable reports for estimates.
- Catch problems early - flags oversize or infeasible cuts before you start.
- Simple Excel workflow - works with a single sheet (Cut Length, Max Length, Material Type).
How It Works
- Load your Excel sheet or generate sample data from the menu.
- Set kerf (fraction or decimal) and choose optional reports.
- Run the optimizer - creates Grouped Cuts, Summary, Validation, Waste, and Procurement sheets.
