Jack000·Dec 27, 2016
a year ago I made an open source nesting program http://svgnest.com (previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10913789) it's pretty handy if you have a CNC machine or laser cutter, but it's mostly used by hobbyists. this year I decided to add some features and try to compete with the established companies in the space. Compared with SVGnest, Deepnest has: - a much faster nesting engine, written in C++ - a bunch of new features (line merging, holes in sheets, dxf/corel support etc) check it out and let me know what you think. There is a writeup on the technical details on github: https://github.com/Jack000/SVGnest
In Show HN: Deepnest.io – faster, better laser cuts through computational geometry
