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.
The full structure
Explore the published entries and evidence-graded relationships in one view. Narrow by type or evidence grade, then open any node for its source material.
Scope and principles
This is a fixed snapshot of Cutting & Packing / Nesting material reviewed in 2026. It contains no live rankings or auto-generated relationships—only content that can be traced to its sources.
