Voxel-Based Solution Approaches to the Three-Dimensional Irregular Packing Problem

Packing Three-Dimensional Irregular Objects Because of its many applications in practice, the cutting and packing literature is extensive well established. It mostly concerned with problems one two dimensions or where some regularity pieces assumed (e.g., boxes). However, rise realm three-dimensional printing additive manufacturing has created a demand for efficient irregular objects. In “Voxel-Based Solution Approaches to Problem,” Lamas-Fernandez, Martinez-Sykora, Bennell propose series tools tackle this problem using voxels. These include geometric tools, mathematical model, local search neighborhoods, details on implementation metaheuristic algorithms. are tested extensively, computational results provided show their effectiveness compared state-of-the-art literature.
