To simplify the story, let's first consider a 1D member of the same size.Īssuming the width of the saw is 3mm, how many 200mm can be takenfrom1800mm? However, this can be calculated with Excel. How many pieces of the same size can be taken from one original plate? It isnotpossible to calculate the plate count using only functions. There are macros available, so it is not theoretically impossible.However,dedicated software should be developed for the calculation volume. Because of the combinatorial optimizationproblem,a dedicated application is required. As it turns out, Excel is not suitable forplatecutting calculations.
