I've been working on this problem for some time and I'm about ready to throw in the towel. The client has a sheet of plywood and needs to have an application show the most efficient way to make a series of cuts (cutlist) so that waste is minimized.
I know this problem has to have been solved several times over before now and I don't want to be reinventing the wheel. However, my Google searches are either turning up commercial products or binaries created from C or Delphi code. If anyone has an idea how to approach representing this problem or some great resources online I'd love to hear it.
