Kerf that "ate" the part
Cut width on laser and plasma differs. If sales counts net size and the machine counts with kerf, the part won't fit or goes to scrap. In List Master cutting, kerf is set explicitly.
Sheet metal
Metal nesting where kerf, burr, and roll direction don't live only in CAM
Laser and plasma calculate nesting in CAM while money, warehouse, and queue live in chats. Kerf eats the part, burr eats post-processing, roll direction can't be rotated randomly. List Master links sales, sheet leftover, and cutting map; true-shape stays with the machine.
Shop floor pains
Where money is lost on this material
Roll direction
Bending after cutting requires grain orientation. "Maximum on sheet" nesting without roll rules gives cracks on the shelf. The map must respect direction, not just area.
Burr and post-processing
Deburring and painting live in another table. The client paid for "cutting" but the shop does two more steps. Order services close this gap.
Modules for sheet metal
Order, cutting with kerf, sheet and leftover warehouse, production. The manager sees material utilization before shop-floor release.
Guillotine / rectangular cutting
Map with kerf and utilization coefficient before release. Complex true-shape stays in CAM — List Master doesn't pretend to be a post-processor.
Sheet and usable leftover
Scrap and offcuts with dimensions go to the warehouse, not a pile by the machine. The next order sees metal already paid for.
Quote by weight and cutting
The manager doesn't build estimates in Excel: material, cutting, bending, finishing — order lines, invoice and act printing.
