Can MaxCut do stock/offcut management?

Updated 1 week ago

At this time, maxcut does not include automated stock or offcut management features.

However, there is a manual workaround using the sub sizes feature, which can help simulate basic offcut usage control.


đź§© Using sub sizes to manage stock/offcuts

Sub sizes allow you to manually define available smaller sheet sizes (such as offcuts or partial panels) that maxcut can include in optimization.


🛠️ How to set up sub sizes

  1. Go to Manage > Sheet Materials

  2. Select the material you want to configure

  3. Click Edit

  4. Scroll down to the  Material Sub Sizes section

  5. Click  Add and define:

    • Maximum Length

    • Maximum Width

    • Quantity Available

  6. Note: A  quantity of 0 means that sub panel will not be used in optimization.

💡 This allows you to list known offcuts as “available stock” and control how many times they’re used.


⚠️ A note on limitations

This is a manual setup — MaxCut does not automatically track which panels are leftover or generate a real-time inventory of usable offcuts. If you're looking for dynamic inventory tracking or automated stock deduction, this may not fully meet your needs.
