Part 1: the bar bending schedule. From the drawing to the weights for a real ground-floor slab: about 8,140 kg, 1,557 bars, and why a U-bar is cut at 2460 mm, not 2510.

Part 2: the cutting plan. The same slab in BarFlow Cutting Plan: 12 m bars only give about 24% waste; lengths from 4 to 10 m give under 0.1%.
