For fans of Windows (there is!), I created a Visual Studio project that allows to compile on this platform. I wrote this program under Linux / Ubuntu (compiled with gcc), but since there is no system dependency, it should work as it is under any other version of Linux. The memory consumption is reasonable, no need to rush to buy new RAMs! S oftwareįirst of all as it is a program written in C ++ for a performance issue, it must be compiled on your machine. The work to be done can take a relatively long time, it is better to run it on a modern processor, but if you are in no hurry. EnvironmentĪs mentioned above, this program can be used alone or as an inkscape extension.
It can be used as is (command line, no GUI!) Or as an extension inkscape which then provides the GUI. This program reads an input SVG file containing the objects to be placed and outputs a second SVG file containing the placed objects.
This can help a furniture manufacturer, but it's too limiting for a laser cutter! By doing a little research on the Web, there are also many links to programs performing this task, but the free versions are often very limited, they are content to optimize the cutting of rectangles. For interested readers, this is a variant of a problem well known in the world of optimization (bin packing problem).
All the users of the laser cutter have probably been confronted with the problem: my drawing does not fit in the wood sheet at my disposal or even in the laser cutter! To try to remedy this problem, I started writing an optimization program for placing objects on a sheet.
