1D (linear) nesting solves the cutting-stock problem for one-dimensional material: given a set of required lengths and the stock lengths you have, work out how to cut them with the least waste. Use it for bar, tube, extrusion, and profile.

​
Endpoint

POST /nesting/1D accepts a Nesting1DRequest and returns a Nesting1DResponse (also available at /v1/nesting/1D). Unlike the 2D endpoints, the 1D request is self-contained — you submit the lengths and stock and receive the optimised cutting plan in the response.

When to use it

  • Cutting linear material (bar, tube, profile) rather than sheet.
  • Minimising offcut waste across a batch of required lengths.
  • Fast, synchronous results in the response body.
