Packing and cutting problems arise in a wide variety of industrial situations. The basic problem is that of determining a good arrangement of objects in a region without any overlap. Much research has been done on two and three dimensional rectangular packing while there has been little work done on irregular packing. In this work, we study the two-dimensional irregular packing problem and provide heuristic solutions which use rectilinear and piecewise-linear representations of objects. These heuristics include Genetic Algorithms and Tabu Search. Experimentation gives good results.

<p>Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are introduced to tackle the packing problem. The scheduling in Additive Manufacturing (AM) is also dealt with to set up a managed market, called “Lonja3D”. This will enable to determine an alternative tool through the combinatorial auctions, wherein the customers will be able to purchase the products at the best prices from the manufacturers. Moreover, the manufacturers will be able to optimize the production capacity and to decrease the operating costs in each case.</p>

Abstract This paper presents a technique for applying genetic algorithms for the two dimensional packing problem. The approach is applicable to not only convex shaped objects, but, can also accommodate any type of concave and complex shaped objects including objects with holes. In this approach, a new concept of a two dimensional genetic chromosome is introduced. The total layout space is divided into a finite number of cells for mapping it into this 2-D genetic algorithm chromosome. The mutation and crossover operators have been modified and are applied in conjunction with connectivity analysis for the objects to reduce the creation of faulty generations. A new feature has been added to the genetic algorithm(GA) in the form of a new operator called compaction. Several examples of GA based layout are presented.
