- Any idea where to start looking for an algorithim to help me figure out
- 'best cuts' for a sheet of plywood?
-
- For a given size of stock (say, a 4' x 8' sheet) I need to be able to
- calculate the points for doing cuts to produce the target size (say, somthing
- like 7.5" x 22.5") with the least amount of waste.
-
- Any suggestions where to start? I could code up some iterative guessing
- contraption but would like to apply real, working math principles instead.

- Thanks-
