Abstract

A personal-computer-based algorithm to solve the non-guillotine-constrained two-dimensional cutting-stock problem is developed. The problem is constrained to single-sized rectangles placed orthogonally on a larger containing rectangle. The algorithm uses the linear combination of box lengths and widths that minimizes waste along the cutting stock's length and width to determine an optimal layout. The algorithm's performance is evaluated using two sets of test cases and compared to the results of other algorithms.
