Exact 1D cutting optimization

Less waste. More usable material.

Kerfexa calculates cutting maps for profiles, pipes, bars, boards and other linear stock. It accounts for kerf, separate left and right trimming, finite stock and reusable remnants.

Three workflows, one calculation core

Use Kerfexa from a quick estimate to full stock control

The free mode solves everyday cutting tasks. Pro adds warehouse remnants and special-length procurement.

Quick calculation

Enter stock lengths, parts, kerf and trimming. Get cutting maps immediately without creating an account.

  • Several stock lengths in one task
  • Finite or unlimited quantities
  • Printable cutting report
PRO

My warehouse

Keep full-length stock and useful remnants together, calculate from actual inventory, then post the result back to stock.

  • Full stock and remnants by material
  • Remnants-first or best overall strategy
  • Controlled stock write-off and return
PRO · BETA

Special lengths

Find suitable custom stock lengths for a specification before ordering material from a supplier.

  • Minimum, maximum and step constraints
  • Limit the number of stock types
  • Compare procurement efficiency

Clear workflow

From specification to cutting map in four steps

01

Add stock

Specify one or several available stock lengths and quantities.

02

Add parts

Enter part names, lengths and required quantities.

03

Set cutting rules

Kerf, left trim, right trim and the useful-remnant threshold are explicit.

04

Calculate and print

Review grouped maps, material balance, leftovers and waste.

Transparent mathematics

The result explains where every millimetre went

Kerfexa validates strict material balance and distinguishes a reusable remnant from irrecoverable waste. It does not hide cutting assumptions behind a single “loss” percentage.

Open the built-in example →
Independent trimmingLeft and right end trimming are calculated separately.
Real kerf logicInternal cuts and the final separating cut are handled according to the remaining tail.
Useful remnantsThe minimum reusable length is defined by the user, not hard-coded.
Honest solver statusKerfexa distinguishes a proven optimum from a correct solution found within the time limit.

FAQ

Common questions before the first calculation

For technical or account questions, contact support@kerfexa.com.

What materials can Kerfexa calculate?

Any material represented as linear stock: metal profiles, pipes, bars, timber, boards, cable channels and similar products.

Is Quick calculation really free?

Yes. It works without registration. An account is required only for Pro workflows and the trial.

How are kerf and trimming counted?

Kerf and both end trims are separate inputs. If a trim already represents the full material removed, Kerfexa does not add the saw width to it again.

Does the warehouse use remnants first?

You can choose remnants-first or the best overall result across full stock and remnants.

Can I cancel Pro?

Yes. After cancellation, Pro access remains active until the end of the paid period.

Does Kerfexa install on my computer?

No installation is needed. Kerfexa runs in a modern browser and stores account data securely on the server.
