Stop leaving material on the cutting room floor.
Our cutting optimization software calculates the most efficient way to cut raw material — sheets, panels, lengths, and round stock like tubes and pipes — for wood and metal processing, turning manual layout guesswork into an automated, measurable process.
Yangshu's cutting-optimization software reduces material waste in wood and metal processing by generating automated nesting cut plans for sheets, lengths, and tubes.

How it works
Define what you need
Enter the finished parts you need — by name or code — with quantities and the stock you have on hand.
Import your cut list
Add your cut list by hand, import from Excel, or pull it straight from Flows ERP.
Generate the cut plan
Nesting algorithm calculates the optimal layout to maximize material yield across sheets, lengths, and tubes.
Export and save
Export the plan as an image or Excel file — and save it to your records to reuse later.
What's included
- Automatic 2D, linear, and tube/pipe nesting for sheet, bar, and round stock
- Support for wood, metal, glass, composite panels, and round tube and pipe
- Cut list by manual entry, Excel import, or direct upload from Flows ERP
- Offcut reuse — the optimizer consumes leftover material from previous cuts first
- Visual cut plan preview with piece labeling, exportable as image or Excel
- Thai, English, Chinese, and other languages on request
Less waste, measurable savings
Every percentage point of material yield improvement goes straight to your margin.
Works with your existing orders
Pull cut lists directly from your ERP or production management — no duplicate data entry.
Cost visibility per job
Know the actual material cost of each production order before and after cutting.
From hours to minutes
What used to take an experienced operator 2 hours per shift now takes under 15 minutes.
Before & after
What changes on the factory floor.
Material waste
Before
Scrap is treated as normal, and nobody measures it.
After
Each cut is planned for the best yield, and waste is measured per job.
Cut planning
Before
Planning depends on one experienced operator.
After
Anyone can create a cut plan from the production order in minutes.
Offcuts
Before
Leftover pieces are thrown away after each job.
After
Offcuts are tracked and used first on the next job.
FAQ
Common questions about the cutting software.
What materials does it support?
Wood, metal, glass, and composite panels, plus round stock like tubes and pipes — sheet (2D), linear (bar/length), and tube nesting. We tune the algorithm to your specific stock sizes and kerf.
Can it pull cut lists from our existing orders?
Yes. Add your cut list by hand, import it from Excel, or pull it directly from Flows ERP — no manual re-entry from your order system.
How much material can we realistically save?
Most clients move from 12–18% waste down to under 5%. The exact figure depends on your part mix, but the software shows you the projected yield before you cut.
How long before it's running on the floor?
About a day. The software is deliberately simple and direct, so it needs almost no training — and because we offer it only as a cloud SaaS, there's no on-site installation to wait for.
