## Definition

STOCut is edge-aware sheet cutting plan software. STOCut nests rectangular parts on warehouse stock and offcuts, preserves finished edges on remnants, and prints branded cutting plans for workshops.

## Audience

- Timber and panel shops (plywood, MDF, laminate, solid board)
- Stone and worktop fabricators
- Metal plate, plastic sheet, and other rectangle-nesting shops
- Small and mid-size workshops that lose usable offcuts between jobs

## Problem

Blank-sheet nesting tools typically ignore:

1. Stock already on the rack (including remnants)
2. Finished edges already paid for (bullnose, chamfer, bevel, etc.)
3. Writing leftovers back so the next job can find them

STOCut centres on a remnant warehouse with edge memory.
