A good friend of mine (kallaballa - * ) just finished the first version of his No-Fit Polygon implementation, as a single-header library which aims to solve the Irregular Stock Cutting problem, common to manufacturing (and in this particular case of interest to laser-cutter users everywhere)...

Seminal paper which inspired the implementation:

I'm posting it to HN for kallaballa on his behalf, and hope that it is of interest to some of you who might be able to build bigger things with libnfp... would love to hear some feedback and discuss the future of libnfp with interested parties!
