CutWeaver¶
2D guillotine cutting and rectangle packing — as a REST API or self-hosted Docker.
Production-ready C++23 core for better cutting layouts, less material waste, and faster integration into quoting, production, and planning flows.
What you can build with this¶
- Cutting/nesting feature inside a SaaS for sheet materials (glass, MDF, metal, plywood).
- Texture atlas / sprite packer for a game engine.
- PCB panelization for a manufacturing pipeline.
- CNC nesting tool inside a desktop or web CAD app.

Reference¶
- POST /v1/solve — the only endpoint you'll usually need
- JSON contract — every field, every error code
- Choosing an engine — Greedy vs ALNS vs HPG
Why CutWeaver¶
- Quality that pays back. Greedy gives a fast baseline; ALNS pushes utilization higher when material cost matters.
- Fast to adopt. JSON in / JSON out, docs-first workflow, and a live demo get teams from prototype to integration quickly.
- Modern methods, practical tradeoffs. Beam search, ALNS, and exact solving cover previews, production runs, and small audited cases.
- Flexible deployment. Hosted API for speed, self-hosted Docker for regulated or high-volume environments.
