Editing Nesting (process) (section)

==Types==
The nesting process differs for different types of parts:
* 1D nesting - for cutting optimization of one-dimensional parts such as bars, trusses, wires, pipes, rails
* 2D nesting - for cutting optimization of flat parts such as sheet metal, cloth, glass, paper, leather
** nesting of rectangular shapes vs. nesting of multiple freeform 2D shapes (optionally with holes/isles)
** nesting from fixed sheets vs. nesting from infinite rolls
* 3D nesting - for packing optimization of 3D parts such as boxes, shipping containers, 3D printed parts
** nesting/packing of freeform 3D objects
