2d-cutting-stock

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of minimizing material waste when cutting large rectangular sheets into smaller required pieces, a common problem in manufacturing and fabrication.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Optimal Layout Generation: Calculates the most efficient way to cut standard sheets into custom-sized rectangular items.
• Waste Minimization: Aims to reduce the amount of leftover material (trim loss) to save costs.
• Constraint Handling: Supports various cutting methods like guillotine cuts, two-stage cutting, and considers material kerf.
• Use Case: A furniture manufacturer needs to cut large wooden boards into smaller pieces for tabletops and legs. This Skill can determine the best cutting patterns to use the least number of boards and reduce scrap.

Quick Start

Use the 2d-cutting-stock skill to find the optimal way to cut steel plates of size 2440x1220mm into pieces measuring 800x600mm (10 needed), 1000x500mm (8 needed), 600x400mm (15 needed), and 1200x800mm (5 needed), considering a 3mm saw kerf.
