Cutting Optimization in Rebar and Steel Profiles with Tasnifer

Importance of Cutting Optimization
In reinforced concrete structures, rebar is a critical component in terms of both structural safety and cost. Placing rebar according to the specified quantity and lengths in the project is essential for the expected performance of the structure.
Rebars are produced globally in standard lengths and are cut into required sizes from these bars. However, these cuts are often made randomly based on the experience and judgment of workers, without a proper cutting plan. This results in parts that are not used, incorrectly cut, or do not match project needs. These unused parts are called "waste" or "scrap." The same applies to steel profile cutting in structural steel projects.
