Features
Everything between the drawing and the saw.
Built with joiners and cabinetmakers, for the way a small shop actually works.
Cutting direction, your call
Automatic now checks its own layout against crosswise-first and lengthwise-first and keeps whichever uses fewer sheets. Or force crosswise or lengthwise cuts first, per project.
Grain that lines up
Mark a board as grained and parts never get turned. Join panels into matched sets so doors and drawer fronts read as one piece of wood.
Edge banding in one tap
Tap a side to band it, tap again to clear it. Every edge is visible at a glance, and banding length and cost are counted for you.
Offcuts that pay you back
Save useful leftovers when you finish a sheet. On the next job MebCut offers them first, applies your edge trim to their raw sides just like on a full sheet, and tells you exactly how many new sheets to buy.
Pick materials right in the list
Choose a part's material from your material library straight in the parts list. No separate setup step before you can cut.
Snap your cut list
Photograph a handwritten or printed parts list and AI reads it straight into MebCut. You check the numbers, it does the typing.
Print it, label it, cut it
Export a clean PDF for every sheet plus printable labels for every part. With Max, one tap in the cutting assistant finishes the cut and prints that part's label, so nothing gets mixed up between the saw and the assembly bench.
Millimetres or inches
Work in mm or in inches with fractions like 23 1/4. Switch any time: nothing you've saved changes, only how it's shown.
How it works
From list to saw in three steps.
No CAD, no spreadsheets, no evening spent shuffling rectangles on graph paper.

Questions, answered.
What is MebCut?
MebCut is a cutting-list optimizer for sheet materials: plywood, MDF, chipboard, melamine and the like. You enter your parts, it lays them out on your sheets with as little waste as possible, then hands you a step-by-step cutting plan, a PDF and part labels.
Is it free to use?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit: up to 20 parts per project, 3 AI photo scans a month, the full cutting assistant and PDF export. Pro lifts the project and part limits and gives you 30 scans a month for €9 a month or €90 a year. Max adds 300 scans a month (fair use) and label printing right at the saw for €19 a month or €190 a year.
Need more than 300 scans a month?
Max includes 300 photo scans a month under fair use. They reset on the 1st. If you need more, contact us at support@mebcut.com.
What materials and cut types does it support?
Any sheet material you set up, with its own sheet size, thickness, grain and edge trim. Layouts use guillotine cuts (straight, edge-to-edge), which is exactly what panel saws, table saws and track saws make, and account for your saw kerf. ABS edge banding is tracked per edge.
Does it work on mobile?
It was built phone-first. MebCut runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens full-screen like an app. Keep the cutting assistant open right next to the saw.
Can I try it before I pay?
Twice over. Open the live demo with no sign-up at all, then use the Free plan for as long as you like. You only pay if you outgrow it.
Why not just lay out sheets by hand or in a spreadsheet?
Nesting by hand eats an evening and still leaves money on the workshop floor. MebCut weighs thousands of layouts in seconds, respects grain and kerf, remembers your offcuts, and tells you the cut order. You spend your time at the saw, not the calculator.
