BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Uses a conservative paired-roll layout with alternating phase cuts. It does not optimise arbitrary remnants or cut-outs around openings.

Pair length = ceil(height/repeat) × repeat + ceil((height+repeat/2)/repeat) × repeatCalculated with normalised units
