ABOUT

E-Portfolio: Cutting List
A cutting list is used to help show how much materials
you will need to cut to size to allow you to manufacture
your product, as well as the size of the materials. This
allows you to accurately price the cost to manufacture
your project, and look at where potential cost savings
can be made.

Using CAD in your design portfolio and developing your
idea in CAD allows you to produce a cutting list with accurate sizes very quickly.
