Algorithms for sheet metal nesting.
This paper discusses the problem of minimizing the cost of sheet metal punching when nesting (batching) orders. Although the problem is NP-complete, the solution to a linear programming relaxation yields an efficient heuristic. This paper analyzes the heuristic's worst-case performance and disc...
