1220 × 610 mm STOCK SAMPLE
Acrylic display-panel example
Four 300 × 200 mm panels and two 200 × 150 mm panels. The sample uses 3 mm kerf, 5 mm trim on every edge and rotation on.
| Part | Length (mm) | Width (mm) | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Large panels | 300 | 200 | 4 |
| Small panels | 200 | 150 | 2 |
Calculated sample layout
6 pieces · 1 sheet · 40.3% material used
The 3 mm kerf is an example setting, not a recommendation for every acrylic cutting process. Enter your measured kerf and any finishing allowance. Keep rotation off for patterned, directional or textured sheets. This tool does not output laser or CNC paths.

Acrylic layout questions
Can this calculator nest circles, holes or curved acrylic parts?
It arranges rectangles only. For a curved part, a rectangular blank can estimate stock use, but the tool does not calculate the final shape or generate machine paths.
Which kerf should I enter for acrylic?
Enter the material width removed by your cutting process. The sample uses 3 mm only to demonstrate spacing. The calculator does not infer kerf from the material name, thickness or machine.
Does it include a polishing or finishing allowance?
No. If you need an oversized blank for later finishing, include that allowance in the part dimensions before calculating. Edge trim reserves material around the stock sheet, not around each individual part.
HOW TO USE THE CALCULATOR
From a parts list to a sheet layout.
Add your parts
Type your finished dimensions or paste a four-column table. Check quantities and choose whether rotation is allowed.
Review every sheet
Check the numbered parts, dimensions and any parts that could not fit. Part numbers identify pieces, not the order of cuts.
How is material usage calculated?
Material used is the area of placed parts divided by the area of the full sheets used. The remaining percentage includes kerf, edge trim and offcuts; it is not all reusable material.
Are these guaranteed minimum-sheet results?
No. The calculator tries several straight-cut packing strategies and selects a feasible layout. It does not guarantee the fewest possible sheets or check joinery, machine clearances or structural design.
Where is my project saved?
The current project stays in this browser’s local storage. There is no account or cloud sync. Clearing browser data removes the saved project. Nothing is sent to an AI or cutting service.
Does this work for MDF and acrylic?
Yes, for rectangular parts cut from a rectangular sheet. Set the actual sheet size, cutting kerf and trim for your process. It does not create CNC toolpaths or nest curved shapes. Use separate projects for each material and thickness.
Can I use different materials or thicknesses?
Run each material and thickness as a separate project. This first version uses one stock size per calculation and does not mix sheets or use an offcut inventory.
