I wrote one 20+ years ago in Autolisp and C.
Wasn't easy, cost the government a ton of money, and don't have any of
the source.

The process is quite different between square-sided-only versus curved
parts, and things like material properties, machine type, and tooling affect
minimum distances between cuts.
There is no one system for automating this that I know of. Back in my day
it required an expert or two and some time
my Google searches are either turning up commercial products
and there is a good reason: this is really a commercial application.
These programs are parts of CAD/CAM systems. Who will ever program such
a complicated
algorithm just for fun if he has one sheet to cut once a year?
And what
need and I betcha, once you had the
algorithm, you could definitely use CF to compute the proper cut list.
But it aint gonna be easy.

such an application on the Web?
Hi Claude, in response to your questions:
The application is to be a web based for a number of cabinetry
In response to an earlier comment, the sizes of the cuts are all
rectangles
Ah ok, in that case, the algorithm is going to be much simpler,
otherwise I was wondering
how the user could enter the shape of each piece by Internet.
I'm affraid you'll have to write the code yourself, it's quite an
It is a fairly common optimization problem and there are hints of other stuff
being out there. For example, there is an open source cutlist app written in
Delphi that, if I had more patience, I would sit down and try and reverse
engineer for CF. There also seems to be shadows of a ruby api(?)
That Ruby code is sitting right there in the thread at the link you
provided. With CF8 and Sean Corfield's jRuby/CF stuff, you can
probably run the Ruby within CF.
