A complete 6000 mm aluminum profile cutting plan
This verified example uses 6000 mm stock, 3 mm kerf and 8 mm trim per end. The solver returns an OPTIMAL plan using four stock bars with 94.4% material utilization.
Updated: · Toreniva Cutwise technical review
Inputs and assumptions
Kerf is 3 mm, trim is 8 mm per end and the objective is to minimize stock cost under the available inventory. All lengths use millimetres.
| Item | Length | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Stock bar | 6000 mm | 20 available |
| A-01 | 1850 mm | 4 |
| A-02 | 1620 mm | 3 |
| B-06 | 1320 mm | 6 |
| C-03 | 620 mm | 4 |
Verified solver result
- Outcome: OPTIMAL; termination reason: OPTIMALITY_PROVEN.
- Stock bars used: 4.
- Material utilization: 94.4%.
- Total unused length: 1,237 mm.
- Three repeated cutting patterns cover all 17 required pieces.
How to use the result
The CSV groups identical patterns and states how many stock bars use each pattern. Before releasing the list to production, confirm the machine's kerf convention, usable stock length, tolerances and whether remnants are handled as reusable inventory.
