Optimize how you cut your panels
SliceLab lays out your parts on the panels with guillotine cuts, allowing for the saw kerf and respecting the grain, so you get the most out of every panel.

The app itself is currently only available in Spanish.
What SliceLab does
Guillotine cuts
Every cut runs from edge to edge, just like on a panel saw, and the plan comes with the cutting sequence in order.
Kerf, trimming and grain
It allows for the saw kerf and edge trimming, and only rotates the parts that can turn without crossing the grain.
Edge banding
Mark the edge banding on each side of a part and it tells you how many metres of each material you need.
Offcuts
It points out the offcuts worth keeping for the next job.
