Opticut 5.22 [portable] Jun 2026
One of OptiCut's standout features is its automated approach to managing material.
: A comprehensive list of all parts needed for a project, including dimensions (length and width), quantity, and material type (e.g., MDF, Melamine, Plywood).
To get the most out of OptiCut 5.22, implement these professional workshop habits:

: A powerful algorithm calculates the most efficient layout to reduce offcuts while considering grain direction, trim cuts, and blade thickness (kerf). Manufacturing Output
In the lifecycle of version 5.22, several sub-releases like and 5.22l were introduced to improve stability and add minor refinements.
Labels can now display both "Net" and "Overall" dimensions simultaneously. One of OptiCut's standout features is its automated
Import lists directly from Excel or CSV files.
: The name "Opticut" suggests a cutting technology that is optimized for precision. Such devices are crucial in industries where materials need to be cut with high accuracy, such as in the manufacturing of electronic components, medical devices, and in microfabrication.
: After an optimization run, the software identifies "falls" (scraps) that meet a minimum size threshold. These are automatically added back into the stock inventory for future projects. Go to Settings > Advanced > Clear Print Cache
is a professional-grade panels and profiles cutting optimization software developed by Boole & Partners. It is widely trusted by workshop managers, carpenters, and manufacturing engineers to minimize material waste and automate production workflows. Built upon a powerful multi-mode and multi-material algorithm, this software converts complex raw cutting lists into efficient, visual cutting patterns.
: The percentage of material successfully used in parts.
While newer versions like are now available, version 5.22 introduced or refined several critical production tools:
