Case studies
Three real jobs worked end to end. Every figure on these pages is recomputed at build time by the same engine that powers the calculators, so what you read here is exactly what the tools return.
Pergola cut list on 6 m boards
A pergola frame cut from 6 m softwood — how many boards the optimizer needs compared with working down the cut list in order.
2 boards saved 21.1% offcut waste 39 parts cut
Open the case study → Oak kiln charge: what fits, and how far it moves
Charge volume for a stack of 32 mm oak, the moisture content it settles at in a workshop, and how much a 200 mm board shrinks getting there.
13.10 m³ oak per charge 12.0% workshop EMC 7.7% tangential shrinkage
Open the case study → Timber container load: when weight beats volume
Packs of planed softwood in a 40 HC — how many fit by volume, how many the payload allows, and how many containers the shipment really needs.
17 packs per container 2.00 m³/t stowage factor 8 containers needed
