What MakerKerf Does
MakerKerf helps turn a project parts list into smarter material decisions. Instead of relying on guesswork, notes, or spreadsheets, MakerKerf is being built to help makers plan cuts, compare layouts, reduce waste, and make better use of available stock before anything gets cut.
Key Features
Practical cutlist, material planning, and inventory tools designed to help makers reduce waste and make better shop decisions.
Cutlist Optimization
Turn a list of project parts into smarter cut plans so you can reduce waste, improve yield, and make better use of each board or sheet.
Inventory-Aware Planning
Plan around the material you already have on hand, including sheet goods, boards, remnants, and usable offcuts.
Efficiency Comparison
Compare different planning approaches, such as lowest waste, best stock usage, fastest workflow, or project-specific priorities.
Inventory & Efficiency Modes
MakerKerf is being built to help you plan around the material you already have, not just the material you wish you had. Organize stock, account for usable offcuts, and make better decisions before buying more material.
Different projects need different priorities. MakerKerf will support planning modes that help compare layouts by waste reduction, stock usage, workflow speed, and project-specific needs.
Development Roadmap
MakerKerf is currently in active development. The first release is focused on practical cutlist planning, material setup, inventory awareness, layout comparison, and simple shop-friendly workflows.
Planned development areas include cutlist optimization, stock and offcut planning, efficiency modes, project saving, PDF/CSV exports, printable cut plans, labels, reporting, and future Pro-level workflow tools.
Built for Makers and Small Shops
MakerKerf is designed for people who build in the real world — makers, woodworkers, cabinet builders, laser users, CNC users, and small shop owners who need practical planning tools without unnecessary complexity.
From sheet goods and lumber to remnants and offcuts, MakerKerf is focused on helping you plan smarter before the first cut.
