Guillotine cut

Open cptX opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Many times in several applications guillotine cuts are requred. For example in glass you would need guillotine cuts, cuts that extend from one edge to the other in every remaining piece. More or less the same applies when cutting big wooden panels where you need to minimize the zig-zag cuts and would prefer longer straighter cuts. Does your algorithm try to align the sides of the objects into straight lines or is it completely random? I'm interested in rectangles only and did some tests where in some cases looks like your algorithm tries to optimize something and somewhere else not, so I'm confused... Would such a feature be possible?

you might try https://github.com/Jack000/Deepnest it has a few more options for optimizing the layout

Thanks dorkmo, I just tried Deepnest and none of my requirements are unfortunately covered. Honestly I prefer SVGnest at the moment and will stay with this project, maybe enhancing it.
