About CutOptim
CutOptim is a free online cutting optimization tool designed to help professionals minimize material waste when cutting panels, boards, bars, and pipes.
The Story
CutOptim was born from a real-world problem. Working with wood industry clients through Gigawood Kft., the founder saw first-hand how much time and material is wasted on manual cut planning. CutOptim was built to make professional-grade cutting optimization accessible to everyone.
The Founder
Built by János Mészáros, a Chemical Engineer (MSc) and former petroleum refinery plant manager turned independent web developer. His engineering background in process optimization directly translates to the algorithms that power CutOptim.
How It Works
CutOptim uses heuristic nesting algorithms — including Guillotine and Maximal Rectangles methods — to solve the 1D and 2D cutting stock problem efficiently, minimizing material waste.
