OP here. I'm a pretty big CNC enthusiast and part nesting is a problem I face regularly. The software that does this is all pretty expensive and I couldn't find an open source implementation, so I decided to write it myself.<p>Try it out and let me know if you have any feedback
This is an impressively cool thing that I've never even thought about. Really neat that a hobbyist result is comparable (better in the example!) than the commercial product.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing!<p>I'll dive into the implementation a little more shortly, but just wondering how easy it is to add additional constraints (for example, that pieces need particular orientations)?<p>Edit: Oh, I see there's a "Part Rotations" parameter. Excellent!
