Cutlist software for Linux?
Hey, anyone know of cutlist software for Linux? What is cutlist software you ask? It’s software that helps optimize your use of linear board feet when cutting stock for woodworking projects. It does best-fit rectangular nesting with some optimizations for cut paths. Cutlist software allows you to take all the rectangular panels in a project, optimize them on say, one or more 4′ x 8′ sheets of plywood so that you get the most use out of your wood stock with the least amount of waste. Useful in my case for designing and building speaker cabinets and of course, some other projects in the future. If you know of anything, please let me know. I’ve found two packages for windows (CutMaster2D and CutList Plus) and will try to get them to run on Wine but I’d rather have a native Linux app.
I think I spent almost half of that article thinking you were talking about Cultist software for Linux. Visions of dark incantations and the burning of windows for workgroups 3.11 books came to mind.. Thankfully, you’re not doing that… are you?
