Talk:Nesting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The concept of and importance of nesting is not exclusive to machining. Especially textile nesting (called marker making) with its print with often repeated patterns to be handled, and leather nesting, with its qualities and tolerance on a varying stretch direction are important. Important features can be: multiple sizes, allowed or requested mirrored parts, free rotational tolerance or limited free rotational tolerance (f.i. part dependent 10 degree freedom with respect to 90, 180 or 360 degree steps), optimized variable multiple layers of material, etc. Look for Cutting and Packing for more info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.21.255.44 (talk) 10:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proprietary

Why are the nesting algorithms called "proprietary"? Lots of articles have been published on solution to the nesting problem and related problems. And to the best of my knowledge the most widely discussed algorithms are not protected by patents. 217.228.20.224 23:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Human Nesting behavior

Why is there not a page on human nesting behavior? Are we engaging in an Orwellian restriction and destruction of word usage? Sequentially contained sets are by no means an exclusive usage. Even a disambiguation page would be preferableAlison W. B. 00:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
