Enter your sheet size and cut list. 2D Cut finds the layout with the least waste, straight or shaped parts, and hands you a cutting plan as PDF or DXF.
1 free calculation without signing up · 3 per month with a free accountType them, paste from Excel or import a CSV. Millimetres, centimetres or fractional inches.
Pick guillotine, nested or multi-stage cutting. Kerf, edge trim and grain direction are respected.
Print the plan with part labels or send the DXF to your CNC.
Material presets set sensible kerf, trim and grain defaults, so you start from your trade, not a blank form.
MDF, chipboard and plywood with grain direction and edge trim.
Guillotine layouts for float glass, arches and circles for mirrors.
Nested layouts on sheet metal with DXF straight to the machine.
Acrylic and composite panels, parts cut from offcuts.
Board and cardboard blanks, many identical parts, fast runs.
One-off projects: enter a cut list, print it, go cut.
Match how your saw, table or CNC actually cuts.
Blade width is removed from every cut, not from your parts.
Lock rotation for veneer and brushed metal.
Keep your offcuts as stock; they are used before full sheets.
Type 12 3/8 in and it just works.
Bring the cut list you already have.
Print-ready plans and CNC files with the real contours.
One account on the website and on iPhone or iPad.
Pick a shape, set its parameters, and see it live. The real contour is placed on the sheet and exported to DXF for your CNC or waterjet. Included in Pro. Preview on Free.

Anything that comes in sheets: MDF, chipboard, plywood, glass, sheet metal, acrylic, composite panels, cardboard and stone. Presets fill in typical kerf and trim; you can change them.
No. Subscriptions are bought in the iOS app through the App Store. Once you subscribe, the same account is Pro on the website as well.
Kerf is the width of material the blade removes. 2D Cut subtracts it from every cut so your finished parts come out at the size you entered.
Yes. Paste rows straight into the parts table, or import a CSV file. Rows with problems are highlighted before you calculate.
DXF files contain the real part contours and cut lines on separate layers, in millimetres, ready for common CAM software.
