Cutting 3

Cutting 3 is a professional software solution dedicated to carpenters, wood or furniture workers to get the optimal layouts with minimal waste and effort. It helps by significantly reducing the amount of lumber waste and offcuts, decreasing your cost and increasing your profit.

Enter and handle the materials

The app comes wrapped in an intuitive and clean interface, divided into the table of sheets and parts, layout diagrams, material storehouse and options. It's recommended to study the help file to get accustomed with the features. You can use the premade project the tool comes with to understand how the app works.

Add the quantity, priority and dimension for each item

If you used a similar program before, you could import the data from a T3 text file. To add new rows to the table, use the "Up" and "Down" keyboard arrows.
To enter a new item, you have to select the material type from the drop-down menu (e.g. Brett, cherry, blue, silver, mahogany, teak, lacewood), X and Y dimensions, quantity, priority, kerf width, edge trim and additional notes.

Calculate and display the inserted materials

Make sure the table of parts has the same elements as the table of sheets in order to run the calculations. Once done, you are redirected to the layout diagram, where you can readjust each material to best fit your needs.
Unplaced items can be seen at the bottom of the window. It's possible to generate and print the report, view the parts allocation and save the layout.

Configure visual and measurement properties

From the settings, you can set the local measurement unit, the number of decimals, level of calculation (fast, normal, perfect), first cut direction, the name of each material and the printing properties.

Professional analyzing and cutting tool

On an ending note, Cutting 3 is a reliable application designed especially for furniture and wood workers or glass cutters to manage their materials and calculate the perfect layouts without losing too many parts.
