Is there any program which calculates how many pieces of an item with different sizes you can put in one area?
For example, I have a sheet of glass with size $3210 \times 2210$mm. Now I have different sizes to cut:
- $1800 \times 1200=5$pcs,
- $600 \times 800=14$pcs,
- $400 \times 500=15$pcs,
- $900 \times 500=10$pcs.
I want to maximize the use of sheet so to as to avoid big wastage. Can you help me find any program or any formula?
