If you cut steel then you need Cutting Schedule to cut waste.
This programme is now widely used by a major plc Steel Stockholding company and at least two other steel stockholders in the UK.  Plus a number of steel fabricators.
Probably the easiest programme you will ever use. Requires no training.
Just:
Enter a cutting list
Enter the stock available or load a previous stock profile
Enter options for saw blade thickness, waste factor...
Click calculate and you will be presented with an optimised cutting list and stock material requirement
Choose from options 1,2,3 for possible different cutting combinations which may be more beneficial and view the output.
Choose Best fit to have the programme try to use the least stock.
Choose print and optionally printout an order, cutting list, cutting schedule or statistics.

This programme is almost guaranteed to pay for itself the first time it is used.
The cost...? About 6m of 82Kg/m section Not to mention the time you will save!
