Material Cutting & Quantity Optimizer
A free cutting and material-estimation workspace for joinery, carpentry, cabinetry, fit-out, fabrication, construction and other trades. Plan plywood, MDF, melamine, boards, panels, timber, aluminum profiles, pipes, steel sections, rebar and other stock materials. Enter your measurements and required quantities to estimate material consumption, generate cutting layouts, calculate waste, and prepare printable or CSV reports—without manually drafting every cutting diagram.

Material Takeoff & Cutting Layouts
Who can use this free tool?
CADVOID helps teams prepare common workshop material schedules and quantity estimates quickly. Start with your measured cut list or export it from another system. Choose a standard stock size, add quantities, and see the estimated number of bars or sheets together with cutting arrangements and waste percentages.
- Joinery, fit-out, kitchens and wardrobes
- Cabinetry, furniture and millwork production
- Plywood, MDF, particleboard and melamine panels
- Timber, lumber, framing and skirting
- Steel bars, rebar, pipes and sections
- Aluminum profiles, conduits and rails
- Site materials and preliminary purchasing lists
- Workshop cut schedules and cost estimates
Free features include quantity expansion, blade kerf and trim, optional rotation for rectangular panels, multiple cutting heuristics, visual stock layouts, waste/yield reporting, CSV import/export and printable cutting sheets. For full project takeoff, you still need a complete measured schedule of all project components and materials.
Complex project? Let CADVOID automate the repetitive work.
The free optimizer handles everyday material cutting and quantity planning. For larger joinery, fit-out, cabinetry, furniture, metalwork, aluminum and construction projects, CADVOID can develop tailored AutoLISP tools, AutoCAD workflows and project-specific automation. Turn repetitive drawing updates, schedules, calculations and manual data entry into faster, repeatable processes—helping your team save drafting hours, reduce avoidable errors and make better use of manpower.
Batch drawing changes, numbering, tagging, block operations, annotation, attribute extraction and other repetitive drafting tasks.
Project-specific takeoffs, cut lists, stock planning and spreadsheet-ready reports for workshop or purchasing teams.
Standardized drawings, faster documentation and practical utilities built around your actual production process.
