Hi, I have a sheet of wood that I need to make several cuts from. I've seen that Arch Nest https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... Nesting.py can organize various objects into a sheet that functions as a container.
The problem is that this tool doesn't allow you to put a separation between the objects and I don't think it organizes them in the best way either. I think the algorithm needs to be improved to support separation between objects and allow for containers of various shapes.
I have attached a file so you can help me. Maybe some Path developer could improve this algorithm. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Re: Organize various cuts in sheet [Arch Nest]
I started porting deepnest to FreeCAD, but haven't had time to work on it lately. I'd like to get back to it sometime, but don't know when that will be.

Previous discussion, Organize various cuts in sheet [Arch Nest].
I suggested to ask in Path because I remembered that some people in Path were also working on this, or had a desire to implement this.
As it is right now, Arch Nest is not very advanced; it was more like prototype code when it was originally created in 2017, and hasn't been improved since.

Here is a free application to test https://deepnest.io/ maybe its source code could be useful to improve freecad. See https://github.com/Jack000/Deepnest/tree/master/main
