More stone becomes product. Less slab becomes waste.
The Marmos cut plan receives the stones from the approved order, searches for an effective arrangement on actual slabs from inventory, and turns it into a sequence production can review. Yield, cuts, waste and remnants are visible before the slab is consumed.
Nesting connected to the order
Tops, aprons, backsplashes, build-ups and curve facets come from the same model that produced the price. The team does not retype a rectangle list only to discover that a stone was omitted.
Search for better slab yield
Within a deterministic search budget, the engine compares arrangements by pieces placed, slabs used, useful remnants preserved and structural waste. The result is measured instead of merely being called optimized.
Cuttable by construction
In the guillotine strategy, every saw line divides one rectangle into two. Nesting cannot place a stone in an inaccessible island and then ask the operator to repair the layout.
Real kerf, trim and allowance
Blade kerf, the first trim of a rough edge, minimum separation and polishing allowance all consume space. The estimate does not promise millimeters that the saw will destroy on the slab.
Grain, slabs and remnants
Rotation can be locked for directional stone. The plan works on the selected slab or remnant from inventory and, when cutting is confirmed, returns reusable remnants with dimensions and origin.
From arrangement to execution
The cutting tree becomes a sequence for the selected machine profile. Manual saw, CNC saw, waterjet and sawjet do not receive the same promise: Marmos records what it calculated and what still requires CAM validation.
Before the first cut, the shop can see the outcome.
Yield and waste
Yield percentage, used area, scrap, trim and slab count let the team compare the plan before confirming it.
Cutting sequence
Identified and ordered cuts separate the stones without confusing C1, C2 and C3 references with positions drawn by hand.
Remnants in inventory
A remainder that meets the shop's rule returns to the yard as traceable material; everything else is waste, not fictional stock.
Cut simulation
The player follows cuts, rapid moves and pierce points for visual review. The public tool lets anyone test the nesting engine without registration.
Questions about cut planning and nesting
- Does Marmos guarantee the mathematically lowest possible waste?
- It does not make that absolute claim. Industrial nesting is a combinatorial problem constrained by slab shape, grain, tool, rotation and search time. Marmos compares solutions deterministically, measures yield, waste and remnant quality, and returns the best arrangement found within the configured search budget.
- What is the difference between a slab plan, a cut map and a cut sheet?
- The slab plan decides where each stone goes and in which sequence it is separated. The cut map preserves each stone's geometry and operations. The cut sheet is the printable presentation of that map, taken to production with figures, dimensions and tables.
- Does nesting account for blade thickness?
- Yes. Kerf is the strip destroyed by each toolpath. Edge trim, minimum separation and polishing allowance also consume slab space. Fine tool compensation remains the responsibility of the CAM.
- Is the simulation a machine-ready program for every CNC?
- No. Simulation supports visual sequence review and, for supported profiles, a dry run. Tooling, height, collision, lead-in and postprocessor must be validated for the shop's actual CAM and machine combination.
- Can I test slab yield without creating an account?
- Yes. The public simulator accepts slab size, pieces, quantities, grain, kerf, trim, allowance and minimum remnant. It runs in the browser and reports slabs, yield, cuts, waste and remnants without sending those dimensions to the API.
