Lõikelist

Lõikelist is a document used in manufacturing, construction, and tailoring that lists all pieces to be cut from raw material to assemble a finished product. It serves as a translation of a design, drawing, or pattern into actionable cutting instructions and helps coordinate material purchasing, cutting operations, and subsequent assembly while aiming to minimize waste.

A typical lõikelist includes item name or part number, quantity, nominal dimensions (length, width, thickness), material specification, grain orientation or pattern direction, required tolerances, kerf and seam allowances, finishing or edge treatment instructions, stock size, and any nesting or layout notes. It may also reference the relevant drawing or pattern sheet and note special handling for fragile or directional parts.

In practice, the lõikelist is used alongside drawings and patterns to plan cutting and to allocate stock. In woodworking, pieces are cut from standard boards according to the list; in textiles, fabric pieces are cut according to a marker; in sheet metal or plastics, parts are cut with suitable processes such as laser or waterjet. The exact format and level of detail can vary by industry and company.

Digital workflows increasingly generate lõikelisted from CAD/CAM software or nesting programs and link them to bills of materials and production orders. This integration supports cost estimation, waste tracking, and production scheduling, and helps ensure consistency between design intent and finished parts.
