OptAtlas

2026 evidence atlas

Cutting, packing, and nesting—mapped to their sources.

Shipyard plate nesting, apparel marker making, and sheet-metal true-shape nesting speak different languages, but they are variants of one abstract problem: 2D Irregular Nesting. OptAtlas records those connections as relationships with sources and evidence grades.
