What it is
SteelCut is a free cutting optimizer for rebar and steel bars. You enter the stock bars you have and the pieces you need; SteelCut computes the cutting plan with minimal waste — in seconds, right in your browser. No account, no installation, no cost.
Who it's for
- Rebar fabricators — optimize bending schedules and cut lists across diameters.
- Contractors — compare supplier prices and document every cutting plan per project.
- Steel yards & distributors — offer optimized cutting as a service and reduce stock waste.
Who makes it
SteelCut is built by a civil engineering student in Cyprus who wanted a practical, no-nonsense tool for the workshop — the kind of tool that pays for itself the first time it saves a bar.
How it works, technically
- Runs 100% in your browser; your data never leaves your device.
- Exact branch-and-bound optimizer for small jobs, best-fit decreasing for larger ones.
- Accounts for saw kerf, cutting angle, trims, grip, and reusable offcuts.
- Exports: PDF reports, DXF files, CSV, and printable QR piece labels.
- Works offline after the first load.
