Linear Cut List Optimizer Software

CutLogic 1D helps you save material, time, and labor when cutting linear materials like profiles, tubes, bars, pipes, or beams.

Linear cutting optimizer with maximum material utilization, a wide set of parameters, and automated remnant reuse across cutting plans.

Includes inventory tracking, detailed reports, and import/export in multiple formats — all in an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.

Enter a list of parts you need to cut into CutLogic 1D, and it will figure out the most efficient way to cut your long stock materials, so that you waste as little as possible. It handles leftover pieces (remnants), tracks what you used, and helps avoid manual mistakes.

What Our Customers Say

We use CutLogic 1D to calculate and cut aluminium profile to make shades. The results are forwarded to cutting machines to cut. It has saved a lot of our material and man-made mistakes. We also use CutLogic 2D to calculate the least amount of fabric used to fulfill the order, a simple task like that could take 10-15mins before and now it’s done in less than 1min. Time saving is money. Also we are very happy with the support provided by TMachines and they always accommodate & assist us to update our license after upgrading our server. I highly recommend TMachines.

CutLogic 1D software was implemented last year in one of the divisions (Zamil Steel Tower and Galvanizing). Since implementation users are well satisfied with the system functionalities. CutLogic 1D application proved to be very successful as compared to earlier ”optimizer” solution. In fact Zamil Steel management is considering implementing in other divisions Structure Steel on later stage. This software has many advantages and by using this application, wastage has reduced. Beside built-in features, TMachines added on request additional functionality as was asked to do so. This software is flexible for customization according to user’s need. During implementation & after, we received excellent support from TMachines in terms of customization and installation. Zamil Steel is committed to use this software and also expecting future enhancement which can benefit not only to Zamil Steel but other users in the world.

We’ve been using Cutlogic for about 6 months and it has already paid for itself many times over! For years, we have used spreadsheet models to determine our “optimal” cutting patterns. As a former student of linear programming, I knew there was a better way. But, Cutlogic has exceeded my expectations. Our scrap is routinely about half what it was. And the superior results are being achieved in far less time, thus freeing up our staff to do more productive things than trial and error optimization.

In our previous nesting software, we had to hand key all the data into the program. With CutLogic 1D, I can import and optimize all the data for multiple projects with the touch of one button. The operator simply has to review and print the report. This will save us countless hours and key-stroke errors.

CutLogic 1D appeared to be virtually tailor made for our purpose and has proved to be very cost effective, easy to use and has paid for itself in the first months of use. We do not know how we ever managed without it. CutLogic is so easy to use and vice free that we believe it could be the market leader in ‘stand alone’ nesting software. TMachines listen to their customers and we have found them to be more than helpful and keen to implement changes to improve their product further.
