Reinforcement bar is typically supplied in standard stock lengths and cut to the straight lengths called for on a bar schedule before bending. That cutting step — required lengths and quantities against available stock lengths — is the same 1D cutting stock problem Barcut Pro solves for any other linear material. This covers cut-length optimization specifically, not bending schedules, tagging, or placement drawings, which stay with dedicated rebar detailing software.
Take the straight cut lengths and quantities off your bar bending schedule and enter them as the cutting list — the optimizer doesn’t generate the schedule itself, it optimizes how the listed lengths are cut from stock.
Reinforcement bar is usually supplied in a small number of standard lengths — enter each one you have available so the optimizer can choose between them per pattern.
Whether bar is cut by saw or sheared, there’s a real loss per cut. Use the actual figure for your cutting method rather than treating it as negligible.
Barcut Pro optimizes cut lengths only. Bending schedules, bar marks, tagging and placement drawings are a separate workflow this does not cover.
Yes, for the straight-length cutting step — enter the cut lengths and quantities from your bar schedule plus your available stock lengths, and the optimizer returns a plan that minimizes stock used.
No. Barcut Pro optimizes how listed cut lengths are cut from stock bar — it does not generate bending schedules, bar marks, or placement drawings, which remain the job of dedicated rebar detailing software.
Yes — enter every stock length you have available, each with its own quantity or left unlimited, and the optimizer decides which to use.
