Rebar Cutting Optimizer
Cut rebar waste from 11.29% to 3.96% - free, in your browser
Rebar waste on a hand-planned schedule: 11.29%. With Rebar Cutting Optimizer: 3.96% - 38 fewer stock bars, 456 m of steel saved on the same job. Paste your bar bending schedule from Excel or CSV; the tool optimizes cuts separately for each diameter and produces a printable cut sheet grouped by bar mark, a visual cutting pattern, and a CSV export. Completely free, no signup, runs entirely in your browser.
Hi Product Hunt — I'm the maker. This tool came out of a simple frustration: planning rebar cuts by hand is slow and wasteful, the professional bar bending schedule software that fixes it is expensive desktop software, and the free generic cut optimizers don't understand bar marks or diameters, so their output can't go straight to a cutting crew.
Rebar Cutting Optimizer takes the schedule you already have (paste it from Excel/CSV), optimizes the cutting patterns per diameter, and hands back a printable cut sheet grouped by bar mark. The numbers in the listing are from a real sample schedule run through the tool: 11.29% waste by hand vs 3.96% optimized.
It's v1 and completely free — no accounts, nothing to install. If you bend, schedule, or fabricate rebar, I'd love to hear what would make this genuinely useful on your jobs.
