Nesting?

I thought I had seen the name of that software before, and turns out it was here!

Genetic algortihms for nesting

SVGnest is a free and open-source alternative that solves this problem with a geometric approach, using a genetic algorithm for global optimization. It works for arbitrary containers and concave edge cases, and performs on-par with existing commercial software. I think there will be a lot of cross posting with hackaday once we get our glowforges. demo link: http://svgnest.com/
