For smartphones and tablets

No ads

The application is designed with consideration for the specifics of cutting sheet materials (chipboard, MDF, glass, plastics, furniture board, etc.), both manually and on machines.

App Features:
• Easy selection and modification of cutting parameters
- Sheet size
- Cut width
- Edge offset

• Cutting standard sheets and panels of various sizes – utilize remnants or sheets of different sizes in a single cutting layout

• Input dimensions of parts and remnants in a table – similar to Excel

• Three highly efficient methods for calculating cutting layouts
- "By Length" – initial cuts are made along the length of the sheet
- "By Width" – initial cuts are made along the width of the sheet
- "Optimal" – cutting direction is automatically selected for denser nesting of parts on the sheet

Choose the method that suits you and your equipment or the most efficient cutting option.

• Cutting Layout Editor – use the Editor to manually arrange parts or adjust the cutting plan

• Save data to project files on your Android device

• Save results as .PDF files for printing or sending

• Send PDF files or project files to partners or colleagues via email or messengers directly from the app

Additionally:
• Mark edge processing or edgebanding on parts (2 types of edges) – lengths are calculated automatically

• Mark grooves on parts

• Specify Order Information (Order, material, order date, readiness date, etc.)

• All cutting data in one table:
- Quantity and area of sheets
- Quantity and area of parts
- Area of remnants and waste
- Length of cuts
- Lengths of edgebandings
- Length of grooves

• Three Measurement Unit Systems:
- Metric (millimeters)
- Imperial (fractional inches – 12” 3/16)
- Imperial (decimal inches – 12.187)

Simple conversion from one measurement system to another.

SketchCut PRO for Android – a reliable tool for working with cutting layouts, always at hand on your smartphone.

Ratings and reviews

It's not optimized for a mobile keyboard. Text is hidden by the keyboard when you type. Changes will be lost when you flip your phone from landscape to portrait. Doesn't work on Samsung Dex. Tabing moves from the count column to a new row instead of the name column. You can't use a Bluetooth keyboard to type fractional dimensions. It does a good job of creating cuts when you finally (and painstakingly) enter all of your cuts. The cut diagrams are quite good.

Works pretty well for rectangular shapes, except for a couple annoyances like certain descriptions and details not appearing in exported PDFs. What would be nice and elevate this above similar apps, would be the possibility to take different shapes into consideration, at least ovals, circles, triangles and especially hexagons and octagons. Efficiently mixing and mingling different shapes on the same sheet is what separates the wheat from the chaff when it comes to this kind of software.

Superb piece if software for sorting the placement of parts on sheet material for the most effective cutting. The ability to add off-cuts is a good addition, but this could be improved by allowing the addition on remains by material type and thickness as well as length and width. This would allow the user to store all of their remains and let the app tell them which ones to select and use. I wrote this review as a handyman who tried the lite version and found it so useful, I paid for the pro version. This app has already saved me more than it cost in not having to buy 2 sheets of material for a job.
