What is LinearCut.RU?
A linear cutting-stock calculator for pipes, profiles, boards, cable and other long materials. You enter your stock and the cuts you need — the service calculates the optimal cutting plan with minimum waste, accounting for blade thickness.
Do I need to register to calculate a cutting plan?
No, you can calculate as a guest with the Free plan's limits. Registering without paying adds local calculation history in the browser; PRO removes the limits and enables cloud sync.
How does Free differ from PRO?
The Free plan allows up to 10 stock rows and 10 cut rows per calculation, up to 5 calculations a day, only the "Fast" optimization mode, and watermarked exports. PRO removes all limits, unlocks the "Balanced"/"Maximum" modes, blade thickness and custom cut names, watermark-free export, cloud history, and the public API. Details on the Pricing.
How do I pay for PRO, and can I get a refund?
Payment is accepted via YooKassa (cards, SBP and other methods on its side). Refund terms are on the Refund Policy.
What are "useful leftovers" and strict mode?
A leftover after cutting is classified as useful (can be used later), waste, or a "forbidden zone" in between. In strict mode, the algorithm avoids the forbidden zone where possible, without sacrificing the cutting of the pieces you need.
What export options are there for results?
A landscape PDF with a readable diagram even for small cut pieces, CSV, plain text, and label printing with flexible settings (paper size, margins, columns, font, merging identical items).
Can I embed the calculator on my own site?
Yes, via an <iframe>. By default embedding is only allowed on the service's own domain — for third-party sites, the service administrator must explicitly allow embedding. See the project's DEPLOY.md for details.
Is there an API for programmatic access?
Yes, the public API v1 is available on the PRO plan — keys are issued in your account. Full endpoint reference is in the API documentation.
How secure is my data?
Passwords are stored as irreversible hashes, session tokens are hashed too, and the connection is secured with HTTPS. See the Privacy Policy for details.
