Panels are square or rectangle. 1. Is there an inexpensive program available which would allow me to input panel dimensions into the computer and have a solution as to the fewest number of plywood sheets needed to buy? 2. Would the program be able to specify how to cut the plywood in order to minimize waste

    Everything depends on what you're going to use the plywood for.
