Rectangular sailcloth cut planner calculator

Calculate sequential roll cuts [cut length m,width m,count] and required roll length with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use sequential roll cuts [cut length m,width m,count] and required roll length to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Sequential roll cuts [cut length m,width m,count]

Add2seam to each panel dimension, choose feasible orientation with smallest cut length, lay one across roll at a time.

Required roll length (m)

Add2seam to each panel dimension, choose feasible orientation with smallest cut length, lay one across roll at a time.

Cut material area (m²)

Add2seam to each panel dimension, choose feasible orientation with smallest cut length, lay one across roll at a time.

Roll material waste (m²)

Add2seam to each panel dimension, choose feasible orientation with smallest cut length, lay one across roll at a time.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Rectangular panel cutting only; no curved sail-shape nesting or multiple panels packed across width. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints.
