Nesting vectorscript


Recommended Posts

Sorry I forgot that not everyone works in the same industry as I do.

A nesting program (in this case 2 dimensional) looks at the profiles drawn and fits them inside the perimeter of a stock sheet.

Put simply if I had 2 rectangles 100 x 200 and a stock sheet 150 x 600 the I could nest them so the short sides join and the long sides total 600 and I would be left with a 50 x 600 offcut waste.

In the above example I could not nest them side by side because 100 + 100 is greater than the 150 wide stock sheet.

A nesting program would shuffle patterns around and come up with the best cutting layout with as little waste as possible.

A 3D nesting program (which I don't need) might look at how to fill a shipping container with boxes of different dimensions leaving as little space as possible.
