Typically, 1DSC brings down material waste by a factor of 10 (from about 10% to about 1%) with respect to manual cut planning. Program run time is around 1 - 100 seconds depending on the number of items involved and the CPU speed. In any case, it saves time and reduces the level of experience required for cut planning dramatically.

Using this page, you can simply put together certain available stock or ordered piece items and copy them directly into the Task Page tables in order to process in the current task, as well as subtract stock/piece items being used/produced in an accepted solution from the inventory/reference lists and return back the reusable stock remnants (off-cuts).

Note that 1D Stock Cutter is intended for optimizing cutting of a large number of pieces having mostly different sizes, as well as groups of identical pieces, and using uniform stock lengths, as well as any variety of different stock lengths. 

The program supports network data sharing and data import and export via common ASCII text or CSV files with adjustable format.  1DSC import files can be created by MS Notepad or the other simple word processor, spreadsheet, database, or 3rd party program.

1DSC limits for "Standard" ("Mass") program reg.level are as follows: 

 -  max total number of pieces to cut out is 5000 (20000);
 -  max number of different piece sizes is 1000 (2000);
 -  max total number of stock items to use is 5000 (20000);
 -  max number of different stock sizes is 100 (100);
