Grasshopper
Laser Material Optimizer
Reduces material area for cutting from a series of sections. Uses Galapagos.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

This sample file will be crazy for a little while at the beginning of the Galapagos solving but should settle in nicely after about 10 minutes.

Hey!
i tried your optimizer the last days! it works fine in one dimention! do you think there will be a version arranging curves in two dimensions? or filling up a certain area (sheet of paper)?
looking forward!
