Now with Workshop Mode, SVG/DXF export, Board Inventory, CSV import, and professional PDF quotes. The most complete cutting optimizer on iOS.
Stop wasting material.
iOptiCut calculates the most efficient way to cut your boards, sheets, and panels — automatically.
Whether you're building cabinets, shelving, furniture, or framing, iOptiCut turns your parts list into a precise cutting plan in seconds. It’s used by woodworkers, cabinet makers, tile setters, metalworkers, and DIYers worldwide.
7 CUTTING ALGORITHMS — FINDS THE BEST ONE FOR YOU
iOptiCut runs all seven optimization methods (five guillotine + two nesting) on your project and automatically ranks the results by material efficiency. One tap shows you which method wastes the least.
WORKSHOP MODE — CUT WITH CONFIDENCE
Follow your plan step by step. Each cut highlights exactly what to do next, shows dimensions clearly, and dims everything else. Tap to advance and never lose your place in the shop.
GRAIN DIRECTION & EDGE BANDING
Specify grain direction (horizontal, vertical, or custom) per part — the algorithm respects it. Add edge banding per side with visual indicators, and get a complete edge banding list in your export.
BOARD INVENTORY — REUSE YOUR OFFCUTS
Save leftover boards to your inventory. iOptiCut uses them first before allocating new material. After optimization, remaining pieces are automatically saved back. Always know what you have on hand.
PROFESSIONAL PDF EXPORT
Export a complete package: cutting diagrams, full cut lists with dimensions, material summaries, and client-ready proposals with cost breakdowns.
MATERIAL LIBRARY & COST CALCULATOR
Choose from built-in presets (plywood, MDF, hardwood, sheet metal, tile, and more) or create your own. Add material costs, edge banding costs, and markup to instantly calculate project pricing and generate client quotes.
CSV IMPORT
Already have your parts list in a spreadsheet? Import it via CSV. Upload a file or paste text, preview it, and get started instantly with a downloadable template.

If you like instructions on how to use an app, this is not for you. Sure, some of the interface is iPad standard, but much is not. This is un-intuitive in the extreme. When you enter cut pieces that do not fit onto your board stock, they simply don't show up... There is no warning or message that they are not on the cutting diagram. Also, I liked the idea of emailing a cutting diagram to "export" it, since I don't have a printer that works with my ipad... But I selected inches as my unit of measure, but no matter what, it emails in millimeters or something. When I emailed support, they asked me again what the problem was, I emailed again, and no response.This app is not ready for sale.

Suggestion
Bit Jockey
This app saved me a bunch of time figuring out the best way to cut 25 pieces out of 5 sheets of plywood and there's nothing else out there like this, so I can't complain. This is more of a suggestion. I wanted to print the layouts for use in the shop, but when I emailed the files it changed the measurements from inches to millimeters and the layouts looked completely different. Also the files came through as .xml files which are not easy to save or print (at least for me). Definitely some bugginess in the export function or there's a preference setting I couldn't find.

Does not function properly.
ParkerTMiller
App allows you to create new project and enter piece dimensions. That's it. It does not have the draw icons at the bottom of iPhone screen as shown. Absolutely would like my money back. $8.99, when what I get is essentially a list of the cuts I have already had on paper and a waste of 20 minutes. Could be a really useful app if it at all functioned correctly.

Thanks for the email bug fix! There have been several updates since my original poor review over a year ago. I have been using this program a lot and have been very satisfied! Very intuitive program. Customer service is great too. I would love to see an option to save as PDF so I could keep the file in my iBooks and maybe a tutorial about the pros and cons of the different cut patterns. Other than that I love using this program. -I am a General Contractor and Furniture/Cabinet maker.
