The Problem

A custom molding shop keeps its knife profiles in a catalog, and finding the one that matches a customer's molding takes time.

App Design

Solution

Match the Cut is a Windows app from The Developing Company. Catalog your knife profiles, then find a match from a CAD file or a hand-drawn outline. Most searches take under 2.5 seconds.

The App

Main Features

Catalog

Smart Catalog

Load CAD files or high-contrast images of knife profiles, then organize, tag, filter and search. It reads .dxf files and most common image formats, and handles catalogs of 100,000+ items.

Match the Cut results, each catalog profile scored by how close it is to the outline, such as 94.1 percent

Matching

Fast Matching

Upload an image of a custom molding and find a match in seconds. Each profile gets a percentage score for how close it is, and Advanced Search matches more than the key side.

Sales Version

Salespeople get a simplified version with the image tools. They match against the complete catalog by syncing with a full version, and stay sandboxed so your catalog and settings are safe.
