    Cable Cutting Optimization Estimate

    Cable Cutting Optimization Estimate is an interactive, mobile-friendly calculator for browser-local estimates. It displays labelled quantities so that inputs, assumptions and outcomes stay clear. Two target lengths, quantities and a stock length; first-fit decreasing packing heuristic, not a guaranteed globally optimal cutting plan.
