Sound familiar?

Every project costs more than it should.

Buying blind

You estimate how much material you need — and round up. Then the offcuts pile up and nobody tracks them.

Stock with no memory

You have usable remnants from last month's job, but they're not logged anywhere. So you buy new bars. Again.

Reports by hand

Purchase orders, cut lists, cost summaries — built manually in Excel, every time, for every project.

Simple workflow

From a piece list to six reports — in three steps.

01
Fill in the Excel template

List your pieces, lengths, and material costs in the input spreadsheet. Metric or imperial — ENGCUT handles both.

02
ENGCUT runs the optimization

The algorithm groups every piece into the fewest bars possible. Existing stock is consumed first. The full plan is ready in under a second.

03
Export six professional reports

One click generates your purchase order, cut plan, stock update, cost breakdown, and QR labels — formatted, translated, ready to share.

What ENGCUT does

Engineering-grade precision in a desktop app.

Cut optimization

First-Fit Decreasing algorithm minimizes bars needed. Every piece goes somewhere — nothing is left uncalculated.

Inventory that remembers

Remnants above your threshold go to STOCK. The next project draws from that stock before ordering new material.

Real cost breakdown

Cost per piece, per group, per project. Material cost separated from waste cost. No more estimating.

Metric + Imperial certified

Both unit systems are certified and tested independently. Switch at any time — the database preserves each bar's stored unit.

Six reports, one click

Summary, purchase order, cut report, stock, cost, and QR labels. All formatted in Excel, in your language.

Your data, your machine

Runs entirely offline on Windows. No cloud sync. License validated online every 24 hours — 7-day offline grace period if needed.

Questions

Everything you need to know.

Download the app and run it — that's it. No account, no credit card, no registration. For 7 days you have full access to every feature. After that, you'll need a license key to continue.

Yes. ENGCUT runs entirely offline. It only needs a brief internet connection every 24 hours to confirm your license is still active. If you're offline longer, you get a 7-day grace period before it asks you to reconnect.

Any profile that can be represented as a cut length — structural steel (W, S, C, L, HSS), lumber, rebar, aluminum extrusions. You define the profile names in the input template, so ENGCUT adapts to whatever you're cutting.

ENGCUT maintains a persistent stock database. After each project, remnants above your minimum threshold go into STOCK. The next project you run automatically draws from that stock before adding new bars to the purchase order — reducing material cost project after project.

Yes. Both systems are certified and tested independently. The database stores the unit alongside each bar, so switching systems never corrupts existing data.

The Professional plan covers 3 machines. Each machine is activated individually with the license key you receive by email after purchase. No technical setup — just enter the key in the app.
