Abstract This paper presents a unified approach, based on a geometrical method (see Faina in Eur J Oper Res 114:542–556, 1999; Eur J Oper Res 126:340–354, 2000), which reduces the general two and three dimensional cutting and packing type problems to a finite enumeration scheme.

In this paper problems of cutting and packing objects of complex geometric shapes are considered. To solve these NP-hard problems, it is proposed to use an approach based on geometric transformation of polygonal objects to composite objects (orthogonal polyhedrons) made up of rectangles or parallelepipeds of a given dimension. To describe the free space inside a voxelized container, a model of potential containers is used as the basic model that provides the ability of packing orthogonal polyhedrons. A number of specialized algorithms are developed to work with orthogonal polyhedrons including: algorithms for placing and removing composite objects, an algorithm for forming a packing with a given distance between objects to be placed. Two algorithms for the placement of orthogonal polyhedrons are developed and their efficiency is investigated. An algorithm for obtaining a container of complex shape presented as an orthogonal polyhedron based on a polygonal model is given. The article contains examples of placement schemes obtained by the developed algorithms for solving problems of packing two-dimensional and three-dimensional non-rectangular composite objects.
