Australia’s First Integrated Online Cutting Optimiser for Cut-to-Size Steel

Smarter custom steel cutting with the online optimiser

Edcon Steel’s online cutting optimiser is an innovative step forward for cut-to-size steel ordering in Australia, giving customers a faster, easier way to build cutting lists online.

Save time and take the guesswork out of ordering cut-to-size steel.

Built for real cutting lists

If you have ever tried to work out how many full lengths you need to cover a list of cuts, you know the process can take time.

You need to calculate the lengths, allow for waste, check the available stock size, adjust quantities and make sure the order still makes sense commercially. On larger jobs, that can quickly become frustrating, especially when the cutting list changes.

Edcon Steel’s optimiser helps take that manual work out of the process.

You can enter your required cut lengths and quantities online, then the system works out which stock lengths to use to fulfil your order. That means less time estimating, less back-and-forth, and a clearer way to order the steel you need.

If you are working from a cutting list, choose the steel product you need and enter your required lengths through the Cut to Size option.

How the cut to size optimiser works

Important note:
Please check all cut lengths and quantities before confirming your order. Changes after submission may require you to remove the items and re-enter your cutting details.

Why use the online cutting optimiser?

Save time on manual calculations
Instead of calculating stock lengths yourself, the system does the stock-length calculation for you. This is especially useful when you have multiple pieces, repeated cuts or a full cutting schedule to work through.

Reduce unnecessary waste
Better use of available stock lengths can help reduce unnecessary leftovers and improve material efficiency. That means a cleaner, more practical way to order cut-to-size steel online.

Order multiple cuts more easily
The old process worked best for simple, single-length entries. The updated Cut to Size system allows you to enter a full list of lengths and quantities, making it much easier to manage project-based orders.

Improve ordering accuracy
When your cut list is entered clearly in one place, it is easier to review your order before submitting it. This helps reduce confusion and gives both you and the Edcon Steel team a clearer starting point.

Get better value from available stock lengths
The optimiser helps determine a more economical way to supply your cuts from available stock lengths. It is not about over-ordering “just in case.” It is about helping you order what you need with less manual working out.

Ideal for builders, fabricators and project orders
The online cutting optimiser is especially useful when you are working with more than one cut length or preparing steel for a larger job.

Trade customers can also use their online account when ordering steel products, entering purchase order details or submitting suitable orders for quote review.

It can help with:
Builders working from site requirements
Fabricators preparing workshop cut lists
Commercial and residential project orders
Trade customers ordering repeat or varied lengths
Customers working from drawings, schedules or bills of materials
DIY customers who want cut-to-size steel without manual calculations

Whether you are ordering for fabrication, repairs, site work, maintenance or a home project, the optimiser gives you a clearer way to enter the cuts you need.

Online convenience, backed by Edcon Steel know-how

The optimiser makes online ordering easier, but you are still ordering through Edcon Steel’s experienced team and stocked supply network.

For larger or more complex orders, you can still submit your cart for quote review. Trade customers can continue to use their account login, include purchase order details and manage steel ordering online.

That means you get the convenience of a smarter online ordering system, with the support of a steel supplier that understands real jobs, real materials and real cutting requirements.

Edcon Steel already positions itself around custom-cut ordering, 24/7 online access and steel delivered to site or door, so this page should feel like a natural extension of that promise: practical steel ordering, made easier.

Customers who need steel delivered can review Edcon Steel’s delivery information before confirming their order.
