Robotic Fabric Cutter — Nesting Layout Optimizer

Interactive 3D simulator of an automated garment-cutting robot: a shelf-nesting (NFDH) algorithm packs pattern pieces onto a fabric roll, then a CNC cutting head traces the outlines while you watch material utilization and waste change live.

Garment-industry cutting robots don't just follow a shape — they first solve a packing problem. This simulator runs a real shelf-nesting heuristic (Next-Fit Decreasing Height) to arrange front and back panels, sleeves, collars, cuffs and pockets on a virtual fabric roll, then drives a 3D CNC cutting head along the resulting outlines at a feed rate you control. Toggle nesting rotation to see utilization rise or fall, tighten the kerf spacing to pack pieces closer, and watch pieces light up as the head finishes cutting each one.
