In the world of woodworking, panel cutting is often where efficiency and precision make or break a project. Wasted material, inefficient cut sequences, or operator errors can cost both time and money. Enter the SCM Thundercut App—a powerful digital tool designed to transform the way you work with SCM panel saws. Best of all, it’s included free with every new SCM panel saw.
What is the Thundercut App?
The Thundercut App is an optimizer and sequencer for panel cutting, available on both iOS and Android devices. It guides operators through the most efficient cutting sequence while helping maximise material yield. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a new operator, Thundercut simplifies the process, reduces mistakes, and delivers consistently accurate results.
Key Benefits
- Simple Activation
Every new SCM panel saw comes with the Thundercut App at no extra cost. Machines purchased after July 2020 can be activated with a free code available from SCM. Setup is quick and easy using the QR code supplied with the machine.
- Maximise Material, Minimise Waste
One of the biggest challenges in panel cutting is making the most of every sheet. Thundercut calculates the optimal cutting patterns to reduce waste, giving you greater efficiency and lower material costs.
- Smart Sequencing with 3D Guidance
The app doesn’t just show you where to cut—it guides you step by step through each operation with a clear 3D visual interface. This means faster execution and less room for error, even for less experienced operators.
- Organise Your Entire Workflow
With Thundercut, you can:
- Manage your fleet of saws
- Track material inventory
- Oversee multiple projects at once
It’s like having a project manager and cutting optimiser in your pocket.
- Preview Cutting Priorities
Want to focus on speed over material savings—or vice versa? Thundercut allows you to preview different cutting patterns and choose the best approach for each job. The app even suggests which panel to start with for the smoothest workflow.
- Visualisation & Label Printing
Operators can preview machine setups in both 2D and 3D. The app also integrates with Zebra (and Brother on Android) label printers, making it easy to generate labels for full traceability and organisation.
- Extra Tools for Flexibility
A handy plug-in allows you to convert Excel cut lists (.xls) into a format compatible with the app, seamlessly bridging planning and production.
Designed with Users in Mind
Thundercut isn’t just powerful—it’s practical. The app is regularly updated for compatibility with the latest mobile operating systems and printers, and it’s built with privacy in mind, collecting no user data. That means you can trust it to run smoothly in any modern workshop environment without unnecessary complexity.
A Smarter Future for Panel Cutting
By combining cutting-edge software with SCM’s legendary panel saw technology, Thundercut takes woodworking efficiency to a new level. It’s not just about cutting panels; it’s about cutting smarter, reducing waste, and giving every operator the tools to succeed.
And the best part? Thundercut comes free with every new SCM panel saw, ensuring your investment delivers even more value from day one.
