Motivation
Carpenters have to cut big planks of wood into potentially many small pieces every day. Planning in which way to cut planks in order to utilize them as much as possible to reduce costs (especially in case of very expense kinds of wood) is tedious and very time consuming thus expensive as well. This program automizes the process of creating optimized cutting plans.
