Hi,
I have made a nesting interface in Java Netbeans
based on textfile input and textfile output.
It can be implemented into Linuxcnc programs quite easy. But is also suitable for excel, python, c++, Inkscape, etc.
It depends on a java install. It works on every platform.
This is so far i can see the best opensource nesting algoritme. It can handle concave polygons. Recognize inner contours.
It's more advanged then the prusa nester wich can handle only convex polygons.
It's source algoritme : github.com/grotius-cnc/Nest4J (a deepnest.io clone with more interfacing).
How it works :
1. You have to provide a text input file, named "nest_in.txt".
- The file has a few setting parameters on top and contains contour points.
- The parameters can be placed at different places in the text file.
2. After input file is ready, you have to execute : "java -jar grotius_nest_interface.jar".
- This can be done easy by a script.
3. Output file is "nest.out.txt" + "ready.txt"
- The file ready is a trigger for linuxcnc when the nesting is completed and can be deleted by linuxcnc after nesting is loaded with succes.
4. On request i can provide a expanded interface providing the nesting contour coordinates.
Github source:
github.com/grotius-cnc/Nest4J
Terminal output:
Nest example:
User settings of file "nest_in":
binwidth 3050 //nest area x
binheight 2030
rotation 4 //0=no rotation, 4=full rotation
use_hole true //or false
population_size 10
mutation_rate 10
spacing 5 //part spacing
bid 0 //contour id nr.
If you have any questions, no problem.
Attached the zip file, containing :

lib folder
nest_in.txt
nest_out.txt

Today did some test with the java nesting tool.
I am impressed. The calculation time was about 10-15 seconds.
Nesting input :
In the nesting output the plate is 3050x2030mm. See cyan colered line.
Items that not fit, are left untouched. This is a startpoint for a new plate nest routine.
Nesting output :
For the rotation parameter output, this is how to calculate the new contour coordinates, on github the information is giving wrong.
Its not rotating around the contour center, but rotating around 0,0.
For above example the nesting parameters in the file nest_in.txt are :
File input + file output included.

//for every xy coordinate, translate + rotate :
//datas[i][3]=rotation angle from nest_out.txt
//it2->start.x=orginal input x
//it2->start.y=orginal input y
//xnew and ynew are rotated + translated, tested oke, see picture output.
double fangle=datas[i][3]*(M_PI/180); //std::cout<<"fangle: "<<fangle<<std::endl; //ok
double xnew=it2->start.x*cos(fangle)-it2->start.y*sin(fangle); //std::cout<<"xnew: "<<xnew<<std::endl;
double ynew=it2->start.x*sin(fangle)+it2->start.y*cos(fangle); //std::cout<<"ynew: "<<ynew<<std::endl;
xnew+=datas[i][1]; //std::cout<<"xnew + transx: "<<xnew<<std::endl;
ynew+=datas[i][2]; //std::cout<<"ynew + transy: "<<ynew<<std::endl;
it2->start.x=xnew;
it2->start.y=ynew;For above example the nesting parameters in the file nest_in.txt are :
myfile << "binwidth 3050" <<std::endl;
myfile << "binheight 2050" <<std::endl;
myfile << "rotation 4" <<std::endl;
myfile << "use_hole false" <<std::endl;
myfile << "population_size 10" <<std::endl;
myfile << "mutation_rate 10" <<std::endl;
myfile << "spacing 10" <<std::endl;File input + file output included.
