PanelCut Studio
Never draw the same panel twice
Build the carcass or import a DXF, and PanelCut nests it, adds kerf and edge banding, then exports both the machine DXF and the dimensioned shop drawing.
- 236 checks green
- 2 nesting engines
- 25 validation rules

- 01
Draw It Once.
One carcass, or one imported contour, feeds the nesting, the cut list, the machine DXF and the dimensioned shop drawing.
- 02
Change It Anytime.
Move a thickness, a kerf, a joint mode. The layout, the labels and both DXF files come back correct - your part notes stay put.
- 03
Every Allowance, Computed.
Saw kerf, edge banding, V-groove unfolding, K-factor bends - computed. 25 rules stop a bad sheet before anyone cuts it.
The technical bit

- Parametric carcass: sides, top, bottom, back, up to 8 vertical dividers, shelves and an optional front panel, with between/over joint mode and a back panel that overlays, insets, sits in a groove, or is left off.
- Net size and cut size stay separate - saw kerf, edge-trim allowance and edge banding set per edge, alongside quantity, material, rotation permission and notes. Production data is keyed to the part, so your edits survive the next geometry rebuild.
- Two nesting engines chosen by cutting method: shelf (guillotine-safe, for panel saws) and MaxRects (free cutting, for routers). Four sort orders are tried and the best kept, rotation locks on directional surfaces, trapezoid twins are matched mirrored. Presets included: 3 wood sheets (2100x2800, 1830x3660, 2070x2800 mm), 8 aluminium composite sheets (1000x3200 up to 2000x6000 mm), 9 thickness steps from 1 to 6 mm, parts from 50 to 6000 mm.
- True polygon unfolding for composite cassettes, rectangular and trapezoidal: 90/105/135 degree V-grooves and L-groove, double bends, mitre / square / rivet-ear corners, and automatic splitting of oversize cassettes so the joint falls on a reveal. Facade wind load and panel stress come from the TS 498 table with B-coefficient interpolation, thermal expansion at 2.4 mm/m/100K.
- Sheet-metal module with K-factor: bend allowance, OSSB and bend deduction (1.0 mm default, 0.5-2.5 mm range), inside or outside measurement side, and a live flat-pattern calculator.
- 25 validation rules plus 10 unfolding rules on a three-level issue list. A critical error blocks the production export and stamps the report as not fit for production.
- DXF R12 twice from one model - the nested sheet for the machine, a dimensioned technical sheet for the bench - on SHEET / PARTS / HOLES / GROOVE / FOLD / MITRE / TEXT layers, with true contours instead of bounding boxes and optional cutting bridges. PDF, CSV, SVG, GLB and glTF come out of the same data.
- DXF import that copes with real drawings: LINE, LWPOLYLINE with bulge arcs, legacy POLYLINE/VERTEX, ARC, CIRCLE, ELLIPSE, approximated SPLINE and INSERT blocks. Scattered edges are chained into closed contours, inner loops become holes, units are read from $INSUNITS, and a preview of parts, holes, open chains and layers with per-layer toggles comes before anything lands.
- Five 3D views - assembly, translucent, exploded, unfolded, single part - beside a 2D SVG sheet layout. Click a part in the model and it selects in the table, and back again. Dimensions on the technical drawing are click-editable.
- Fully client-side: project data never leaves the browser. Projects save as .pcs.json files with a separate local autosave per product page, the interface is Turkish and English, and 236 automated acceptance checks run green (132 core, 50 DXF import, 21 sheet metal, 12 htpasswd, 21 licence).

- Two nesting engines: guillotine-safe shelf for panel saws, MaxRects for routers, four sort orders tried each run
- DXF import that chains scattered edges into closed contours, turns inner loops into holes and previews everything first
- Composite cassette unfolding on real polygons: V and L grooves, mitre corners, oversize cassettes split onto a reveal
- DXF R12 twice from one model - nested sheet for the machine, dimensioned sheet for the bench - with 236 checks green
Next
- 2D sketch editor for free profiles and custom holes
- CNC operation UI for holes, grooves and pockets, then machine-specific post-processors and G-code
- True-shape nesting for non-rectangular parts, and pricing on the composite page
Before you ask
No. PanelCut Studio opens in the browser - desktop, tablet or phone - and installs nothing. The app itself is static: no Node.js, no PHP, no database on the server. Build the carcass in the app, or bring geometry in as DXF from whatever CAD you already use (LINE, LWPOLYLINE with arcs, POLYLINE, ARC, CIRCLE, ELLIPSE, SPLINE, INSERT blocks). It gives back DXF R12 for the machine, a dimensioned DXF sheet for the bench, plus PDF, CSV, SVG, GLB and glTF. Project data never leaves your browser.
The furniture panel side - PanelCut Studio - is free, with no key and no account. The paid one is its sibling page, KompozitCut Studio, for aluminium composite facade cassettes: same codebase, same engine, different job. Its pricing is still phase 16 on the roadmap, so there is no checkout yet. When it closes, the gate is server-side PHP: .htaccess routes every assets/ request through varliklar.php, so without a valid HMAC-signed token cookie the application code is never downloaded at all. Keys look like PCS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, are stored as SHA-256 hashes, allow 3 devices by default and lock out for 15 minutes after 8 failed attempts. No database. None of it applies to the free app.
Version 0.26.0-alpha, and honest about the gaps. There is no 2D sketch editor for free profiles or custom holes, no CNC operation UI for holes, grooves and pockets, and no machine-specific post-processor or G-code - you get the DXF and set the machine up yourself. Nesting is rectangle-based (shelf and MaxRects); true-shape nesting is not in yet, apart from mirrored trapezoid twins. Parts run 50 to 6000 mm with at most 8 dividers. Read the issue list, then check the first sheet before you cut it.
