Melamine cut list calculator

Melamine faces have a pattern. Rotation starts off so woodgrain or marble print stays aligned.

Parts

Pattern and chip-out

Treat the printed face like plywood grain. A fine-tooth blade and a sacrificial fence reduce chip-out; the calculator only handles sizes.

Kitchen board sizes

UK stock is often 2440 × 1220. Some merchants sell 2800 × 2070. Change the sheet fields if that is what you have.

Worked example

Two 600 × 720 ends, two 397 × 713 doors and two shelves. Grain locked. Generate to see if doors can stay on one sheet without turning.

Questions

Do you add edge banding?

No. Add banding as a bought item, or add thin strips as extra parts if you cut them from the sheet.
