Import the cut list
Bring rows from CSV or Excel and review references, quantities, profiles and lengths before calculating.
Corte 1D / office ↔ workshop
Linear 1D cutting optimisation for metal workshops.
Generate cutting plans for bars, profiles and tubes, reduce waste and prepare clear workshop orders.
No sign-up · 5 calculations a day
A clear reference before the bar reaches the saw.
From cut list to cutting plan.
Corte 1D turns the measurements your team already uses into a cutting sequence that can be reviewed, saved and executed. The office decides with context; the operator receives a reference that does not depend on a phone call.
| Reference | Measure | Qty | Bar |
|---|---|---|---|
| PERFIL-40X40 | 1.200 mm | 06 | |
| PERFIL-30X30 | 840 mm | 04 |
Example data · your project provides the real measurements.
Reduce waste before it reaches the workshop.
Less translation between files, calculation and the shop floor. More control over yield, kerf, compatible mitres and remnants when the job changes.
Optimize with real measurements
The plan accounts for bars, kerf — including the cut that separates the last piece from the remnant —, angles, compatible mitres, inside or outside measurement and remnants, and tells you whether it reaches the theoretical minimum of bars.
Deliver an executable order
Send a version to the workshop with the stop position for every cut, a label on every piece and the real number of every bar, and follow progress from a view designed for the shop floor.
Clear cutting plans for production.
The application separates calculation, decision and execution so each person sees what they need.
- 01
Enter the cut list
Add the required pieces or import the information available in your office.
- 02
Optimize the cut
Compare the distribution and adjust material before committing an order.
- 03
Take it to the workshop
Lock the sent version and record progress from a view made for execution.
Where the others stop
The plan does not end in a PDF.
An optimizer prints a sheet and walks away. Here the job continues: it reaches the saw, it gets executed, and the measured offcut goes back on the rack.
It reaches the saw
The operator opens the job on their terminal, works bar by bar with the position of every cut and the label of every piece, and logs blockers or incidents. It works without coverage, because a sheet-metal shop has no wifi.
The offcut returns to stock
Closing the job records the real leftover and adds it to inventory. The next calculation already counts on it, and the saving stops being an estimate.
Every calculation stays comparable
Recalculating does not erase what came before: two versions face off on yield, remnant and scrap before you commit an order.
That stretch — office to saw, and offcut back to the rack — is what no calculator does.
Optimization for profiles, bars and tubes.
One flow for linear materials and teams that need to turn a cut list into a concrete order.
Aluminium profiles
Organize commercial profiles and see which pieces come from each bar before cutting.
Steel bars
Work with available lengths, kerf and remnants to prepare a reviewable plan.
Tubes and linear material
Order repetitive pieces and give clear patterns to the person executing the work.
Built for a workshop’s pace.
The technical layer serves a simple operation: know what to cut, with which material and in what order.
| Input | CSV and Excel | Reuse the cut lists you already have. |
|---|---|---|
| Calculation | Kerf, cut positions and remnants | Canonical measurements without visual rounding; every cut with its position. |
| Output | Cut positions, labels, PDF, Excel and order | The office saves; the workshop cuts to the position. |
| Connectivity | Offline-first | The operator view supports cutting without stable coverage. |
Questions before you start.
The essentials, without showcase promises.
- What is Corte 1D?
- Corte 1D is web software for linear 1D cutting optimisation in metal workshops. It turns cut lists for bars, profiles and tubes into reviewable plans shared by office and workshop. Read the related resource
- Which import formats does Corte 1D accept?
- The current flow accepts CSV and XLSX files. The file becomes reviewable rows before calculation so an incorrect mapping is not sent straight to the workshop. Read the related resource
- What does the workshop receive?
- A plan version with bars or patterns, pieces, references, measurements, angles, remnants and execution status. The order reduces reinterpretation but does not remove the operator’s checks. Read the related resource
- What does offline-first mean here?
- The operator view is designed to keep working when coverage is unstable. Synchronisation, shared access and some operations require connectivity; offline-first does not mean the whole application always works without internet. Read the related resource
- What is linear 1D cutting optimisation?
- It distributes pieces of different lengths across available linear stock while accounting for quantities, kerf, constraints and remnants. Its purpose is to compare executable plans, not promise a specific saving. Read the related resource
- What is mitre matching?
- It is a strategy that tries to place compatible mitred ends together so part of the geometric cutting loss can be shared. It only applies when angle and orientation are compatible. Read the related resource
- Which position does the plan print for each cut?
- For every cut, where the piece starts and where the blade passes, measured from the end of the bar: the number you set on the stop. With mitres the wedge is already deducted. The positions appear in the PDF, in the Excel file and on the operator screen, in cutting order. Read the related resource
- What is the price of Corte 1D?
- During the beta it is free and pricing is not published yet. When the beta closes there will be a price, and anyone registered during the beta keeps their Founder Plan: every feature available at that moment, free and forever, with the published limits. Features released later may carry an additional cost. Internal, hypothetical or competitor prices must not be attributed to the product. Read the related resource
