What is CutMaster 2D?
CutMaster 2D is a professional rectangular nesting software package that maximizes material utilization through advanced optimization algorithms. It is specially adapted for efficient use in sheet metal, furniture, glass, and similar industries. The software enables significant reduction of panel waste and cost by generating optimized cutting layouts and reusing offcuts.
CutMaster 2D is offered in two editions: Pro and Lite. The Pro edition is suited for professional environments, while the Lite edition is optimized for home workshop environments, offering identical optimization quality. Key features include edge banding calculation, grain direction control, data import from Excel or XML, and export to AutoCAD DXF and XML. The software also provides detailed reports, parts labeling, and customizable label printing.
