How it works
Linear stock uses a first-fit-decreasing heuristic. Sheet stock uses a shelf-packing heuristic with optional 90° rotation.
Limitations
- The optimizer seeks an efficient layout but does not guarantee the mathematical global optimum.
- Real cutting may require extra allowance for defects, grain direction, clamps, trimming and machine setup.
- For browser performance, a single calculation is limited to 1,000 total cut parts.
