2D nesting optimizer for sheet goods

A 2D nesting optimizer places parts on rectangular sheets. Cabinet cases, furniture panels, and architectural casework all depend on this workflow when you buy 4×8 (or metric) goods.

Why nesting is harder than it looks

Kerf, grain direction, edge banding, and common sheet sizes all constrain good layouts. Software keeps you from inventing a plan that cannot be cut on your table saw or CNC bridge.
