MEASURE ONCE. PLAN YOUR PURCHASE.

Mixed Rectangle Sheet Layout calculator.

Build a feasible rectangular cut allocation for different rectangular panels, respecting your rotation choice and cutting gap.

PROCUREMENT

Your inputs

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Build a feasible rectangular cut allocation for different rectangular panels, respecting your rotation choice and cutting gap. User-selected grain orientation and gap. No optimal packing claim or cutting-machine instructions.

Sort by longest side; first-fit rectangles into disjoint usable remainder regions, reserving cutting gaps; honour supplied orientation.Calculated with normalised units
