CutNesting Material Efficiency Benchmarks

Measure what happens to material under fixed, published inputs. The benchmark separates finished parts, kerf and trim loss, reusable remnants, disposable scrap, feasibility and runtime instead of hiding them behind one ambiguous waste percentage.

Start with the reproducible 1D corpus

The first release focuses on linear stock because every placed length, kerf, trim and offcut can be reconstructed independently. The 2D release follows only after the same standard is met for polygon geometry and reusable remnants.

Dataset ready

1D cutting suite v1.0.0

Thirteen synthetic cases covering exact fits, kerf and trim, finite and mixed stock, remnant thresholds, wood, steel, pipe, aluminium, infeasible inputs and scale.

2D nesting suite

The current 2D product reports part-area utilization and estimated unused area. A public waste or recovery claim will wait for independent polygon accounting, deterministic seed rules and validated reusable-remnant classification.

Until then, public 2D language remains limited to material utilization and estimated unused area.

What the benchmark can support

A released table can describe a named CutNesting version on a named public case. It does not establish that one tool is universally best.

Finished-part yield

Required part length divided by all stock length consumed.

Recovery-adjusted efficiency

Finished parts plus reusable remnants divided by stock input.

Disposable material

Kerf and trim process loss plus leftover below the reusable threshold.

Solver status and runtime

Proof status, feasibility and raw repeated solve times stay visible.
