Abstract In this study we deal with the one-dimensional cutting of metallic structural tubes used in the manufacturing of agricultural light aircrafts. The problem is modeled by mixed integer linear formulations aiming to minimize material trim losses and considering the possibility of generating remainders (leftovers) with enough size to reuse. To validate the application of the models in practice, we carried out experiments with real data of order lists from Ipanema, an agricultural airplane produced by a Brazilian aeronautical company. The models were solved using a modeling language and an optimization software. The computational results show that the models are useful in supporting decisions in this cutting process.
